Hand made ceramic Raku bowl, raku pottery, Unique gift for ceramic collector, gift store for art lover, ceramic vase, kitchen design, art in clay

This organic and unique shape ceramic raku bowl is hand made by me without using a wheel, as all my works.

It's beautifully painted with blue and red dots using underglaze colors.

It's made in a low-firing manner called RAKU, which has its origin in Japan during the 16th century.

The glazed parts are burned at about 1000 °C into a wood or gas-fired kiln. Afterwards it's removed red hot and cooled quickly.
.
This process generates small cracks within the glaze so-called “crackles” which will become dark after smoking into
sawdust and lend the pottery its typical optics.

Due to the random controlled RAKU firing process unique surfaces can be generated.
Part of the surface is naked raku which means that part of the glaze is off, this is what give its unique look.

Every piece is one off, individual and unique.

Note for use of Raku ceramics:

- Liquids can be filled in for some hours but after a while a slightly moisture could diffuse to the surface of the ceramics.

-it's possible to add a small vessel inside to hold water.

- Generally I recommend washing by hand, because the salts of the dishwasher could affect the Raku ceramics in the long term.

- The used glazes are lead-free and non-toxic.
