The inspiration for this vessel was part of a project to depict the coronation with the theme of Crown. I was inspired by the idea that the monarchy is diminishing in importance. The was part of greating a bastion with multiple thrown parts. This was thrown with a coarse raku clay rather than the smooth stoneware. I am very pleased with the effects.

Full description
This is a larger Raku vase which I love for the richness and depth of colour mixed with the smokiness of its creation. The clay body has a smooth texture and is glazed with a copper based glaze which has a burned out bronze colour contrasting with the turquoise base colour.The glaze and firing process bring heavy texturing to the surface I have used wax resist an dipping techniques to leave raw fired clay which have been smoked black adding contrast. There are irregular thrown ridges on the sides which give the vessel movement and life.The glaze has crazed nicely over the rim. This is not suitable for food, but should hold water for flowers.
Raku originated as a Japanese pottery technique and involves quickly heating the pots to red heat and then cooling it quickly in different ways, giving crazing and unpredictable results with the glaze colour.
I love making Raku items. The process is so dynamic and unpredictable and when the magic happens the results can be superb.
The vase is 20cm tall, with a 11.5cm opening and 8cm base.
