AFRICAN INSPIRED RAKU POTTERY - HAND MADE

Unique African Raku pottery large Kangaroo.

Different colour combinations are used during the glazing process therefore the item ordered may not look exactly like this photograph.

While Raku is originally a Japanese technique, our range of unique looking African Raku pottery reflects the true spirit of Africa.

All our earthenware pieces are hand made, hand decorated and proudly initialled and signed by the African people who make them.

We are proud to announce that PlacesAFar has been awarded Sole UK Distributorship of The Fenix range of Raku pottery which originates from South Africa.

After the initial firing the bisque ware pieces are individually hand painted with Raku glaze. The second firing is done in a gas kiln also referred to as the Raku kiln where the pieces are rapidly heated to 950 degrees centigrade. After 20-25 minutes the kiln cover is then removed. The red hot earthenware pieces come into contact with the much cooler outside temperature causing the glaze to crack. The cracking of the glaze gives each piece its unique appearance and forms part of the attraction of Raku pottery. Whilst still hot the pieces are then transferred to a drum of sawdust to smoulder resulting in the blackening of the cracks and unglazed surfaces.

Average Length: 9 3/4" (25cm)
