- Peach Bloom - Peach bloom glaze is a type of ceramic glaze that was commonly used in Chinese pottery during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is a type of monochrome glaze that ranges in colour from pale pink to deep red, resembling the colour of a peach blossom.
The glaze is created using a combination of iron oxide and copper oxide, which are mixed together in specific proportions and applied to the ceramic surface. The glaze is then fired in a kiln at a high temperature, which causes the iron and copper oxides to interact and create the characteristic range of colours.
Peach bloom glaze is known for its delicate, translucent quality, which allows the underlying ceramic body to show through in places. It was used to decorate a range of ceramics, from small vases to large bowls and plates. The technique was particularly popular during the Qing Dynasty.
