His experimentation with glazes and forms resulted in creations that are both visually captivating and historically significant. The details about Nilsson's background and his association with the Höganäs ceramic tradition is very interesting. The provenance of these pieces lies in Höganäs, where Nilsson established his workshop and experimented with ceramics. These pieces are highly representative of Nilsson's signature style, which is usually characterized by his innovative oxblood glazes. ABOUT OXBLOOD GLAZE Oxblood glaze, originating in 18th-century Chinese porcelain, is a deep red ceramic glaze, also known as Sang de boeuf glaze. Developed during the Kangxi reign, it's part of a series of "flambé" glazes marked by varying effects. Primarily made with copper oxide in a reducing atmosphere, it was produced with a variety of shades of colour and as well as mottling, streaked effects in the glaze, which often fades to white at the top of pieces, and conversely thickens around the shoulders of vases and at the foot, which is often not fully covered by the glaze. There is often crackle, and a greenish tinge at the edges of the glazed area, where the glaze is thin. All of these were considered desirable effects. Generally the glaze is only applied to the outside of closed shapes, the inside and rim left with a clear glaze.
