About the Item

A large pair of classic vases distinguished by their “oxblood” color: a deep, rich red that lends great presence to this highly decorative pair. These vases are amphora-shaped, with a glossy dark red glaze contrasting with the gilded bronze mounts. The handles and base of each vase are in chased ormolu, with elegant scrolled acanthus leaf decoration for the handles. This pair of large, highly decorative vases will complete a classic ensemble on a chest of drawers or mantelpiece. Sang Boeuf (also spelled “Sanggam” or “Sang Bao”) is a characteristic red hue that was commonly used in 19th-century Chinese ceramics, particularly vases. The name “Sang Boeuf” is derived from the French word for “blood” and refers to the deep, rich color of the glaze. Sang Boeuf color is achieved by using a specific type of iron-rich clay and a high-temperature firing process. The resulting glaze has a deep, lustrous sheen.

Magnificent Pair of Russian Imperial Ruby Glass Vases w/ Gilded Bronze Mounts
Located in New York, NY
While Napoleon's armies never conquered Russian, French taste did, and in a big way. This pair made at the Imperial Glass Workshop, under the Sponsorship of the Imperial Family would have been at home in a Paris drawing room as easily as in St. Petersburg. The Intense Ruby Red color of the Crystal is created by adding large quantities of gold to the molten glass before the object is created. The resulting color is dense yet full of light just like its namesake the precious jewel. The Dore bronze mounts use motifs taken from antiquity. Likewise, the shape of the handles is inspired by Greco-Roman amphora...
