NOTES
Fulper pottery was made using high-fire glazes and stoneware clay that was also used for utilitarian wares the company produced. The streaked orange glaze around the shoulder and neck of this Asian-style vase contrasts with the lustered charcoal gray glaze at the base that is dappled with crystals. These glazes, called flambé and mirror black, are typical of the varied glaze effects that were often combined in a single piece of Fulper pottery. William Fulper adopted these and other evocative names for colors and glazes that evoked Asian and Islamic precedents.
