They stand up in tight loops from the shoulder to just below the rim, and they carry dark maroon on both sides of the pot — so whichever face you turn out, the handles stay dark. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe glaze is copper, fired to 2,250 degrees, where it reacts to the smoke and flame in the kiln. Chinese Blue was first developed at Jugtown Pottery in the 1930s. After Jacques Busbee died, his wife Juliana asked that it no longer be made, and the recipe was lost. It stayed with Ben Owen Sr., who spent years trying to get back to it and arrived at a recipe of his own. That version passed down through the family, and Ben Owen III still works in his.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 12.5 inches high, this is a piece with real presence — a console, an entry table, the end of a sideboard. It also asks you to make a decision most vases never do: which side faces the room. Live with it a while and you will probably turn it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNo two pieces develop the same way. The photographs on this page are the vase that will arrive.
