A reactive oxblood glaze coats this traditional fantail-shaped vase in eye-catching swirls of rich red. Compared to the color of crushed strawberries, red wine or dried blood, the glaze contains large amounts of copper, which can be unpredictable during firing, sometimes turning green instead of red. By starving the glaze of oxygen during firing and reintroducing it during cooling, ceramicists could retain the rusty red color while exploiting the glaze’s mesmerizingly random effects. Copper-based glazes were first introducing during the Ming dynasty and perfected in the 18th century to produce a more glossy, rich appearance.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
