Product Description
Many consider the Iridescent glaze to be Pewabic’s most important contribution to ceramic art. Through trial, error, and sheer persistence, Mary Chase Perry Stratton developed her first successful Iridescent glaze in 1906. Establishing the formula and stabilizing the firing process took another three years. Today these Iridescent pieces are fired somewhat similarly, though with safer materials. It requires a third firing and a process called fuming, when vegetable oil is injected into the kiln to create the extraordinary one-of-a-kind effects.
This stunning Azurite Iridescent vase stands approximately 6-7 inches tall. Whether you fill it with blooms, or gift it on its own, you are sure to make a memorable impression.
