Without modern technology, potters had to depend on both skill and luck to achieve this effect. In the 18th century the red glaze often accumulated on the shoulders of vases and bowls, reproducing the effect of coagulated blood. Sometimes the glaze was often slightly streaked, or included blue bleeds. Wares with these features were prized by collectors in the 19th century. European potters were not able to master the technique until the early 20th century. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVases of this shape, size and colouration are extremely desirable; in the European market often selling for thousands of Euros, and a reputable dealer priced a similar piece at £ 1950.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrice marked at AUD$2200.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMeasurements: \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e32cm high.
