(26.7 x 25.7 cm), Cizhou type ware Stoneware with dark brown glaze over trailed white slip ribs, China, 10th-13th century, Although their specific function is unknown, brown-glazed, globular-shaped jars with wide mouths, double handles, and vertical rib décor were popular northern kiln products during Northern Song (960-1127) and Jin (1115-1234) dynasties. The distinguishing ribs are not rolled appliqué strips of clay as they seem, but rather, trailings of white kaolinic slip that were extruded onto the body of the vessel with a tool akin to a modern cake decorator. After all parts had dried, the potter applied the iron-rich glaze in two dippings. In firing, the glaze pulled away from the raised ribs causing them to appear slightly lighter in color than the thicker, darker glaze of the body.Waza with a wide stroke with a dense blue coating with purple spots unknownPilgrim bottle 17th-18th century Spanish.

Steeped in ceramics from birth, Hugh C. Robertson pursued his craft with fierce devotion and a passion for experimentation. From a family of trained English ceramists, he honed his skills in New Jersey before settling in Massachusetts as one of the founders of Chelsea Keramic Art Works and later, Dedham Pottery. Robertsons lifelong explorations in glazes, particularly their color and texture, make him one of the key figures of American art pottery at the turn of the twentieth century.As all-consuming as his pursuit of the ideal oxblood glaze was, Robertson also pioneered other glazing techniques, among them the craquelé glaze, which he first achieved in 1886. This distinctive type of glaze, with its fine network of visible cracks, was a staple of Eastern ceramics that Westerners tended not to emulate because they considered such crazing a flaw. Appreciating its aesthetic value, Robertson perfected an allover white crackle glaze often enhanced witVase with a rosette in relief, N.V.

Jingdezhen porcelain Sint-HelenaClutha vase ca. 1888 Christopher Dresser British, Scottish Dresser came to glassware relatively late in his career. This vase belongs to the group of glassware trademarked "Clutha" in 1888 by the Glasgow-based glassworks of James Couper & Sons. From this date until 1896, Christopher Dresser was sole designer of Couper & Sons Clutha glassware, which was retailed by Liberty & Co. in London from the 1880s until around 1900. The name "Clutha" was deliberately historicizing, being the old, perhaps romanticized, Gaelic name for Glasgows river Clyde. In an article published in the 1870-73 Technical Educator, Dresser celebrated how "Glass has a molten state in which it can be blown into the most beautiful shapes" and the designs of most of Dressers Clutha vases depend upon this singularity of the production process; embracing irregular, organic forms and prizing the colored striations, as well as bubbles, particular to the medium, which Dresser also admired in Roman glass.
