GH254 Small groovy bowl sang de boeuf glaze

A very nice small serving bowl with an exterior cut with groves and kissed by wood ash from the kiln. This bowl is distinguished by several things. The glaze trailing on the back, grooves cut into the outside, and the rich oxblood or sang de boeuf glaze.  Also known as "copper red" because the color results from a small percentage of copper in the glaze that makes it turn red. Sang de boeuf is a deep red colour of ceramic glaze, first appearing in Chinese porcelain at the start of the 18th century. The name is French, meaning "ox blood" (or cow blood), and the glaze and the color are also called ox-blood or oxblood in English. 

A wonderful surface to hold, feel, and observe with grooves cut over the exterior. Fired in the wood kiln which made the glazes and texture come alive. A great serving piece or new member of your collection. Sure to appreciate in value.
