Raku fired, nine inches wide by three inches. This piece has aqua glaze in the crackle finish and a textured blue copper reactive glaze inside. This piece is nine inches wide and three inches tall.
Some facts about raku:
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 metallic rainbow colors. 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 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.
