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 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).

Porcelain is steeped in centuries of Chinese culture and history. Even though pottery developed in China 15,000 years ago, most experts believe that true porcelain -which also originated in China - didn't emerge in the region until the Han Dynasty -202 BC to 220 AD.
