Full description
A handmade and wheel-thrown raku pot for use as home decor. An ideal fine art gift for a discerning relative or friend. Raku firing is an ancient Japanese ceramics technique that has been used for many centuries to create a unique finish.
The vessel was created by wheel-throwing, bisque firing, and then decorating with underglazes, glazes, and oxides. The vessel was taken from 2nd firing process while it was glowing red hot and was then placed in a material that would be able to catch fire - sawdust, and newspaper. The vessel was starved of oxygen, which creates a myriad of colours within the glaze and then quenched in water.
A raku firing creates unique pieces as there is no certainty as to how the final piece will turn out. Raku essentially creates a unique design every time and is a time-consuming and high-risk process with many failures.
Kintsugi ( "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi ( "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. I've not used precious metals for this raku vessel to minimise cost, but some of my future creations will use pure gold 24 karats.
End of line item. I no longer make pots like this. Postage will be combined for multiple purchases from my 'Seconds Sunday' collection.
