Raku Goat pitcher (SOLD)

$590.00

Sold out

This piece has been through the firing process called Raku. The process involves bringing the glazed piece up to 1850 degrees and then taking it directly from the heated kiln to a reduction chamber filled with flammables. When the chamber is on fire it is then covered to smother the flames and reduce the oxygen which gives the piece a beautifully random glazed effect.

As expected with a Raku firing, the thermal shock coming out of the kiln is extreme. This produces small cracks in the vessel and crazing in the glaze. These are not flaws but add to the beauty of the piece, However it is not food safe. Size is Approximately 15"tall.

The process involves bringing the glazed piece up to 1850 degrees and then taking it directly from the heated kiln to a reduction chamber filled with flammables. When the chamber is on fire it is then covered to smother the flames and reduce the oxygen which gives the piece a beautifully random glazed effect.

As expected with a Raku firing, the thermal shock coming out of the kiln is extreme. This produces small cracks in the vessel and crazing in the glaze. These are not flaws but add to the beauty of the piece, However it is not food safe. Size is 8" Tall

Wood-fired Giant Octopus Vase

$2,100.00

This wood fired Giant Octopus Vase was fired for a total of 6 days and reached temperatures higher than 2350 degrees. It takes an entire team of people working around the clock in shifts to continually feed the flames. At times it actually breathes like dragon spitting and retracting flames from the mouth.One of the main desired outcomes from these types of wood-firings is the liquidation of ash in the kiln. The effect is a beautiful drip pattern that is completely random and unpredictable.

The kiln is called an Anagama and is big enough to host a dinner party inside. (See Picture)

This piece is quite large and measures 26"tall x about 15" diameter.
