A distinct vase hand created almost exclusively with fingers. It was dried for 10 days and then fired in a ceramic kiln at about 1000ºC. Glazed with metallic grey and blue glazes, finished in raku technique. The result is a unique vase whose colour and texture resemble moon craters. It is an exceptional piece of art that brings a touch of originality to any space.

Raku firing really is one of the most natural techniques that you can encounter in working with clay. In loose translation the word “raku” means contentment and enjoyment in happy accident..
Originally created for the Korean tea ceremony, and further developed in 16th century Japan.
In raku firing all of nature’s elements are used in the process – earth, fire, air and water and together they create an unpredictable and unique style .
The process of Raku firing differs from other firing methods because it requires the fast removal of the piece from the furnace at their maximum temperature. While red hot, the pieces can be reduced using smoke from flammable materials, or enhanced with alcohol, or decorated with horse/pet hair and feathers.
It is a rather dangerous, unpredictable and amazing process.
