Raku Pottery Vase Handmade with Pierced Wall -Copper Blue Glaze
Raku Pottery Vase Handmade with Pierced Wall -Copper Blue Glaze
This piece is wheel thrown, trimmed and decorated by piercing circle designs in the wall of the vase.
Raku pottery work is created using a unique firing process. Each piece is fired to approximately 1800 degrees Fahrenheit in a specially designed gas kiln. While the pieces are glowing a bright red-orange they are removed one at a time and placed into a metal container filled with combustible materials such as straw, sawdust, dried leaves, newspaper, etc. A reduction or carbonization process begins once the red hot pots ignite the combustible materials and the carbon smoke is absorbed into the white clay and the crackles of the rapidly cooled glaze. The reduction atmosphere in the smoking container may create metallic or iridescent lusters.
Each piece is unique and more porous than high-fired stoneware. For this reason, Raku pottery is produced for your visual and tactile delight. Enjoy!
Dimensions: 4.5" tall and 4" diameter
