Raku Fired Squished Vase-Oil Slick

This Raku fired vase is ideal for displaying dried flowers or having as a centre piece in your home. Due to the nature of raku firing, this vase is not suitable for holding water. Its low-fire clay construction may leak over time if filled with water. Perfect for achieving a unique and natural look in any room. A statement piece for any home lover.

The Raku process consists of the vessel  glazed then filled with sand, wood, lined with sawdust, newspaper, and other combustible materials. Pottery pieces are placed inside the pit, surrounded by organic materials, such as wood shavings, leaves, or sawdust. The pit is set on fire, and the flames are allowed to burn and envelop the pottery pieces. The burning carbonaceous material creates smoke patterns and carbon trails on the surface of the heated ware that remain as decoration after the ware cools.
