8 ChineseOld Ox-blood Red Glaze Porcelain Vase Qing Dynasty Kangxi Period Six CharacterMarks To Base. The deep red glaze on this porcelain vaseis derived from copper, a metal which is notoriously difficult to control underthe heat of a kiln. The distinct oxblood color is created when copper isstarved of its oxygen during the firing (in a smoky, oxygen reduced kiln) andre-oxidized in the cooling. The resulting glaze, which can vary in color andopacity, is among the most distinctive and elusive of all high fire ceramics. The technique was lost in thesixteenth century but was revived approximately two hundred years later, in theearly eighteenth century, when Jingdezhen potters were commissioned by thecourt in Beijing to develop replications of classical glazes. These Qingglazes, the results of an organized program of systematic testing, wereextraordinarily glossy and far more fluid than their predecessors.
