Mid century studio porcelain export peacock flambe glaze vase crimson lavender blue flow copper red reduction glaze

This is a mid-20th-century studio pottery vase (approx. 6–8 inches tall) with a classic baluster form and gently flared mouth. The surface is decorated in a striking peacock flambé glaze—a highly prized variant of copper-red flambé where crimson, lavender, and blue tones merge like peacock plumage.

The vase is wheel-thrown in porcelain or fine stoneware. Its unglazed foot ring and natural crackle on the base are typical of Japanese or American studio works from circa 1950s–1970s. No maker’s mark is present.

This vibrant art pottery vase presents flowing layers of crimson, lavender, and cobalt blue with a soft bluish-white undertone, creating the shimmering depth known as peacock flambé. Perfect as a centerpiece on modernist consoles, Japandi shelves, or British Colonial interiors, it is ideal for collectors of studio ceramics and interior designers seeking a bold, one-of-a-kind accent.

This is a stunning vase in mint condition. A testament to true mid century quality with bright and vivid color patterns. This vase will not disappoint you.

Flambé or sang-de-boeuf glaze originated in 18th-century Jingdezhen, China, celebrated for its molten copper-red and purple effects. Post–World War II ceramicists in Japan and the United States revived these complex reduction glazes. The multicolor “peacock flambé” variant, prized for its dramatic blue and violet streaking, became a hallmark of mid-century studio innovation.
