DETAILS

Remarkably unusual white vase with grey dots and texture created by imprinting wild herb plantain into soft slabs of chamotte clay. It was left to dry for 2 weeks . Plantain vase was then fired in ceramic kiln for the 1s time at about 1000ºC. After 24 hours of cooling it was carefully dipped in ceramic glaze and fired in raku technique which accentuates vase’s natural curves, unique textures and original colours. The result is unique, one-of-a-kind artwork that brings special character to any room.


Product number: Plantain vase 123
Weight: 840 g

REMARKS

REMARKS

  • Raku fired pieces retain scent of smoke for several weeks due to specific firing processes.
  • Raku fired items are porous and no liquid should be poured or kept in the bottles who think they are vases as it may seep through and leave permanent stains on your furniture.
  • Flowers photographed in bottle-vases are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in the price, however, a free ceramic flower chosen by the artist will be included with every bottle-vase.
  • It may not be the actual ceramic flower from the photograph. While every effort has been made to show items accurately on our website, slight variations may occur. Please note there may be variations in colours dependant on the calibration and settings of individual computer screens. All measurements quoted are approximate.

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.
