***This piece is on loan to d'Art Center in Norfolk, Virginia until September 2024.***
Seven inch around by seven inch tall vessel.
Raku fired pieces are fired to over
1800°F and then removed from the kiln while glowing red hot with tongs.
Pieces are put into combustible materials and then the fire is smothered out.
This process cracks the glaze in some pieces and forces smoke into the cracks. It also starves the glazes of oxygen creating shiny copper. The process is purposely imprecise and yields unpredictable results. Two markings from the tongs are also common and are not considered defects.
Raku pottery is not dinnerware safe, it is a decorative only. Raku is also a bit porous, so it is not meant to hold water.
For flower arrangements, it is recommended to use another waterproof container inside or a coaster underneath to protect table surfaces.
