A hand-made vase, featuring a unique interplay of white, turquoise, and black designs. The vase was created using Standard Clay Company's Raku clay body. After the initial firing, a taped design was added and the vase was then dipped in a turquoise crackle glaze. It was then heated in a an extremely hot kiln. After heating to the appropriate temperature, the vase was removed from the kiln and placed in a barrel of combustible materials, where it was set on fire, resulting in the chemical reactions that cause the fascinating and beautiful combinations of colors and designs on the surface of the vase.
Because of the nature of the firing process, this vase is decorative only. It is not food safe and is not suitable for flowers.
