Sang De Boeuf Porcelain Danping Vase

This elegant Sang de Boeuf porcelain danping vase is handmade on the potter’s wheel and decorated by hand before firing, following centuries-old Chinese traditions. Porcelain holds a central place in Chinese culture — although pottery developed as early as 15,000 years ago, true porcelain is believed to have first appeared during the Han Dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD).

The Sang de Boeuf (or “ox blood”) glaze was one of the great flambé glazes of Chinese ceramics, developed in the Jingdezhen kilns during the Kangxi reign (1662–1722). This example displays a stunning crackled red glaze that deepens from rich crimson to dark plum tones, merging with delicate pale accents near the neck. Each piece is unique, the glaze’s variations revealing the spontaneous alchemy of the firing process.
