Raku fired Curvaceous Crackle Pear (6 3/4")

Raku fired Curvaceous Crackle Pear sculptures - Smoky golden with Lustrous leaves and naked black stems 

These sculptural pieces exhibit a variety of smoky golden 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.
