Bring the drama of smoke and fire into your home with this striking, handmade raku fired vase.
This pottery piece is a true original, crafted by hand and finished using the fascinating horse hair raku technique. While the vase is still glowing hot from the kiln, strands of horse hair are carefully applied to the white-hot surface. The hair instantly carbonizes, leaving behind the intricate, lightning-like patterns known as Lichtenberg figures in a beautiful range of black and deep gray tones.
The soft, subtly crackled finish and dynamic black markings make this a standout piece of contemporary art pottery. It is perfect as an accent on a shelf, mantle, or desk, and makes an exceptional, unique gift for any collector of Southwest ceramics or smoke-fired art.
