Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Vase ca. 1885-89 Hugh C. Robertson 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.During the 1880s Hugh Robertson increasingly turned his attention to developing new glaze formulas and clay bodies. In the middle of the decade he became obsessed with the highly coveted yet elusive sang-de-boeuf, or oxblood, glaze, a quest that became the hallmark of his later career. This richly colored blood-red glaze is traditionally created from a copper-based formula and fired in a kiln, which when wet straw and other materials are introduced, deprives the atmospheVase.

Kang Hsi., China, 1662-1722, ceramics, Decorative Arts, VaseVase 1879 Tiffany & Co. This vase exemplifies the creativity and innovation that characterized Tiffany & Co.s work during the 1870s and 1880s. Under the direction of Edward C. Moore (1827-1891), the silver division at Tiffany & Co. produced a diverse array of exquisitely wrought and highly original work, and this vase is a bold example of their experimentation with novel techniques and Asian-inspired designs. First conceived and created in 1879, this vase was produced both in copper with silver drips, as seen here, and in silver with copper drips. Surviving drawings for the vase reveal that the seemingly random splotches on the red surface and the layered, cascading drips were meticulously planned. Notes on the drawings also specify that the fine gold was to be "inlaid by chasers," while the copper and green gold ornament was to be "inlaid by battery," evidence of Tiffanys progressive engagement with innovative electrolytic processes. Inspired by the colors in Asian ceramics as well Vase, Lenore Asbury, American, 1866-1933, Rookwood Pottery, American, 1880 - 1967, Glazed earthenware, Thrown refined white stoneware body of tapering cylindrical form, flaring to circular foot.

Manufacturer: Hobbs, Brockunier and Company (1863-1891). Date: 1886-91.The second half of the nineteenth century witnessed a proliferation of highly ornamental decorative arts in nearly every medium. Glassmakers during this period experimented with new techniques, introducing bold color effects and embracing exotic influences. Many new lines of art glass imitated other materials. This particular form was made in imitation of the "Morgan Vase," the famous eighteenth-century Chinese porcelain vase with a peachblow glaze from the collection of Mrs. Mary Morgan, which sold at auction in 1886 for the astonishing price of $18,000. Hobbs, Brockunier & Company was one of a number of glass firms to capitalize on this event and the company created a copy of the vase with their perfected Amberina glass, relating in shape and size to the Chinese porcelain example.
