A hand-made Lidded Moon Jar, featuring a unique combination of colors and designs. The jar was created using Standard Clay Company's Raku clay body. After it's initial firing, it was then fired and fumed with copper wire in a an extremely hot kiln. After heating to the appropriate temperature, the jar was removed from the kiln and placed in a barrel of combustible materials, where it was set on fire. After cooling, the jar was dipped in a clear crackled style glaze and the process was repeated. This intricate process created the interplay of colors with the crackle design.
Because of the nature of the firing process, this moon jar is decorative only. It is not food safe and is not suitable for storage.
