Limited Edition Snowdrop Vase | Plum Iridescent
With its delicately carved snowdrop flowers trailing around the vase and glazed in flowing matte green, the Snowdrop Vase initially was intended to be a lamp base when it was created in 1903.
An original Snowdrop Vase found its way back to Pewabic in 2006 and is now part of our museum collection.
Plum Iridescent Glaze
This fantastic result came from a kiln load of Copper Iridescent pieces that did not hit full reduction. Instead of a bright copper penny, these vases have a deep, moodier surface that reminds us of a ripe juicy plum. There are only a small number of these stunning pieces available so don’t wait!
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 our 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.
