Almost On-Topic - Sorta Glassy

[Steph]

Here's a quotation with the names of some shades of copper-based glazes.

Those derived from copper give the more or less fanciful names of "sang-de-boeuf" "sang de poulet" "sang de pigeon," crimson, crushed strawberry, maroon, liver colour, and that curious tint known as peach bloom or peach blow.

Chats on oriental china, by J. F. Blacker, 1908

Anyone here just happen to have any examples of these other coppery colors lying around? The sang-de-boeuf is oxblood but what does chicken blood (sang de poulet) or pigeon blood look like, for example? lol

I have a cloisonné lamp (mid 18th cent) with some older colors on it.

Peach Blow is colored glassware. It's peachy. (As in $$)

Here is my lamp to show you the range of colors.

Gorgeous! . . wooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

A little google is a dangerous thing but what I just read was that the peachblow glass came after the peachblow ceramics. http://www.theglassmuseum.com/peachblow.htm

Found some pix of chicken blood (literally and in mineral form). Led me to think that chicken blood as a color might be somewhere around the darker pink shade on the pieces pictured here: Chicken-Blood Stone and A Jixue (chicken blood) stone seal.

And this is billed as a pigeon blood vase: Japanese Ginbari Cloisonne Vases akasuke or pigeon blood. And here are some stones: Pigeon Blood Red Rubies.

Pop Quiz:

What color would you call the dark pink band here? I want it to be Chicken Blood!

(I believe the marble is Carole's.)

Looks like the same red in my lamp. I meant to say that the vase is ca. 1750 and was made into a lamp much later.

The colors are still enamel Steph but applied to a copper base in the case of my vase/lamp.

As far as the marble I see some kind of blood alright.

If you want older here is an ancient glass piece. I see some blood red on this piece too. Been awhile since I've shown this.

Nice! Is it Egyptian? Roman? Can I have it???

[Steph]

That's amazing, Roger.

I had a peach blow darning egg in the shape of a pear. It was an absolutely beautiful delicately colored piece. Much more peachy-pink than red.

very cool roger... I have a cloisonne elephant about 10" tall with the same base patterning as your lamp!

hey steph, look up pigeon blood...

[Steph]

I did! Should I look up something specific? Found stones and a vase. Deep but still somewhat bright red. For example:

This perfume bottle is what is called Ruby glass.

I read somewhere that it's made somehow by adding gold to molten glass,simply said.

I wonder myself now do or did they use(d) gold for red glass marbles aswell?.

I think the color your asking about in post #4 would be crimson,neat marble.
