This Raku Bottles is wheel-thrown using a raku clay, created to help withstand the extreme thermal shock of the raku firing process.

The surface is decorated with a copper wash and fired in a raku kiln before undergoing a further sawdust firing process, creating a rich, organic finish with unique patterns and natural variations formed by the interaction of fire and smoke.

The neck is finished with polished terra sigillata, which naturally darkens during the sawdust firing. These areas are then polished again, creating a refined contrast between the smooth, lustrous neck and the expressive surface of the bottle's body.

Each Bottle is completely unique, reflecting the unpredictable beauty of traditional raku techniques. A striking statement piece for collectors and lovers of contemporary handmade ceramics.
