Each Flambé glaze piece is by nature of the glaze one of a kind.


The art of flambé glaze or “sang de bouef” in the West was directly inspired by Ming dynastic pottery practices. Precise temperatures were required in order for the oxides to flash red; this skill only emerged in the West centuries later, with pioneers such as Charles Noke finally achieving this technique.


This particular design is a lovely long-stemmed shape, evoking the onion-domed minarets so reminiscent of Middle Eastern architecture. The details on the vase are very well-executed, and it is possible to discern the rider’s Bedouin garb as well as the trappings on the camel. This level of detail is unusual in Doulton flambe glaze, which usually has a more silhouette-like look.

With its backstamp and lovely desert scenes, this vase is likely circa the 1930s as per other extant examples, which places this in the Noke Period. 

Price marked at AUD$580.

Measurements: 17.5 cm height, 10cm dia. at widest point. Top dia. approx. 1.2cm, base dia. 4.2cm.

Condition: Very good vintage near antique condition with wear to base and tiny spots of wear to glaze commensurate with age and antique Doulton flambe conditions.

This particular piece showcases a true oxblood red, an excellent example of Sung ware.
