Snowdrop Vase | 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.
Iridescent Glaze
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.
Azurite Iridescent pieces often have flashes that range from silver to purple and green that accentuate this bold blue glaze.
