Vase
Ernest Chaplet, c. 1888 - c. 1895
The potter Ernest Chaplet was a master in experimental firing techniques, which he knew from Chinese and Japanese art. The copper-red colour on this vase, for example, called sang de boeuf (oxblood), comes from Chinese porcelain of the Kangxi period (1654-1772). Chaplet jealously guarded the techniques he developed, even going so far as to destroy his notebooks at the end of his life.
