Raku fired Apple

Deep red with golden lustre, stem and leaf

Apple sculpture with deep red crackle glaze, golden lustre, Naked black stem and lustrous blue green leaf with burnt amber edging; 4½"h

These sculptural pieces exhibit a variety of Oxblood red glaze with black crackle on the body and lustre on the leaves in blue greens, tinged with burnt amber edging. A pleasure to view and hold.

Raku firing involves taking the piece from a hot kiln with tongs and putting it in a reduction chamber containing combustible materials, then sealing it to create a lack of oxygen. This process produces unpredictable lustrous and/or crackle glaze results
