Etched Copper Lustre Vase

Dynamic, sharp etchings tracing wavy profiles enliven this lustrous ceramic vase, a one-off piece of lustreware handcrafted following a century-old Persian technique. Green accents emerge from the gleaming coppery surface, a consequence of chemical reactions involved in the use of chlorides, nitrates, and sulfates. The piece's distinctive texture and iridescent hues are sealed by a second firing in a reduction kiln. Guaranteed to withstand the test of time.
