Vase
The glaze on this three-handled vase is characteristic of Pewabic Pottery. Developed by the founder, Mary Chase Perry, the glaze achieves its iridescence by the reflection of light among metallic particles suspended within the glaze. One of the developments of the American Art Pottery movement was the interest in the relationship between the glaze and the ceramic body. In this example, the decoration is not painted on, but occurs as a result of the reaction of the glaze to the heat of the kiln when it was fired.
