Brush Washer

Derived from copper, lush pinkish-red glazes were first produced in the third quarter of the seventeenth century as part of experimentation at the Jingdezhen kilns. The delicate red and greenish spots that mottle the surface of this vessel are part of the appeal of this elegant and hard-to-make “peach bloom” glaze.
