Raku Fired Decorative Bowl | Rich Molasses Tones

£30.00

The Story

This is a truly soulful piece of studio pottery. We adore the deep, multi-tonal glaze that shifts from a dark, rich molasses brown to shimmering metallic coppers. The bowl is crafted using the traditional Raku firing method, resulting in a dramatic, crackled finish and an earthy, smoke-infused character. It is a substantial, tactile object that brings a grounding, organic feel to a tabletop or shelf.

The Details

  • Dimensions: 17.5cm Diameter x 8cm H

  • Material: Raku Fired Clay | Metallic & Earth-Toned Glaze

  • Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition — Please note: Due to the nature of Raku firing, the bowl is porous and intended for decorative use rather than holding liquids.

Provenance & Heritage

Discover the ancient, elemental process of Raku firing.

  • The Technique: Raku is an ancient Japanese firing technique that was popularized in the West by mid-century studio potters. The piece is removed from the kiln while still red-hot and placed into a container of combustible materials (like sawdust or leaves).

  • The Result: The thermal shock and the resulting smoke create the unique "crackle" in the glaze and the blackened, unglazed clay body.

  • Design Significance: Because the flames and smoke react differently every time, no two Raku pieces are ever the same. This bowl is a one-off "snapshot" of that elemental process, celebrating the beauty of chance and natural imperfection.
