Yaobian Dark Red Flambe Porcelain Flower Vase

This beautifully rich & glossy dark red and black flambe vase is a Chinese reproduction piece made in Jingdezhen in the traditional way by hand. Yaobian translates to 'transmutation' and refers to the variegated glaze effect which occurs as the glaze changes colour during the kiln firing process. 

Red flambe was first developed in the 11th century and is created by mixing iron & copper. Flambe glazes were notoriously difficult and unpredictable to work with but highly decorative with varying effects. Developed in the Jingdezhen porcelain kilns during the Kangxi reign (1662-1722).

All our reproduction Chinese porcelain is made in Jingdezhen which has been the capital of Chinese porcelain production since 1004 AD. The famous imperial kilns have been sited there since the Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644 AD). Every piece is hand painted by skilled artists using traditional techniques learned from their families and passed down through generations.
