History Sang de Boeuf:
Here are the names that refer to the red glaze:
– Copper Red
– Sang de boeuf, which is the French name meaning ‘Ox blood’
– Lang yaohong (lang yao red), the Chinese name believed to have been named for Lang Tingji, one of the imperial kiln supervisors.
– Just to confuse things further, sang de boeuf is also called flambé glaze!!!
All in all, it all refers to a glossy, rich, bloodied glaze that can be slashed with streaks of purple or turquoise and is used to decorate pottery, particularly porcelain. The glaze is described as resembling the floor of a slaughterhouse, crushed strawberries, apple peel or, as it is known in the West, sang de boeuf(French for “oxblood”).
Origin Sang De Boeuf:
Sang De Boeuf glaze first appeared during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). The disappearance of sang de boeuf glazes occurred along with a slowdown in porcelain production during that period’s war-torn later years.
When it resurfaced during the ensuing Qing Dynasty (1644–1911), use of the glaze was perfected and some of the finest pieces of sang de boeuf emerged.
This was particularly so during the reign of K’ang-hsi (1654-1722), the fourth (and best, some say) emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Examples include vases, bowls, teapots, urns and other vessels.
From the late 19th century onwards, usually after lengthy experiment, many Western potters produced versions of the Chinese glaze, which is technically very difficult to achieve and control.
Old Chinese Sang de Boeuf porcelain vase from the 20th century – A very beautiful and collectible vase.
