Raku-fired Vase by Christine on sale Cutino

on sale Stunning red and copper wide-mouth vase by Christine Cutino. Raku-fired in brilliant colors and a burnt-red exterior.

Raku is a type of low-firing process that was inspired by traditional Japanese raku firing. Western-style raku usually involves removing pottery from the kiln while at bright red heat and placing it into containers with combustible materials. Once the materials ignite, the containers are closed. The colors are both unpredictable and stunning.

Raku pottery is not dishwasher safe nor is it water-tight. It is generally used as a presentation piece or as a decorative item.
