Small Moon Gazing Hare - Ceramic Raku Fired Animal Sculpture Pottery

THIS LISTING IS FOR A SINGLE HARE Ceramic raku fired small moongazing hare with turquoise glaze with random copper lustre (some come with lustre & some without as it can be very random & can depend on it being first or last out of the kiln) or white with dark crazing. Size: 13cm High These pictures are general pictures of each item, the crazing will differ with each animal due to the unique nature of Raku. Raku is a rapid firing technique, adapted from an ancient Japanese firing. A small group of approx 12 pieces are placed in a small gas fired kiln & fired up to around 1,000o c, each piece is then individually taken out of the kiln red hot & placed in a bin of sawdust & wood shavings which instantly combust, the actual finish is then down to careful timing, longer in the air will give bigger heavier crazing, covering quickly leaves areas with no crazing but the crazing itself is very random & this gives each piece its own character, all work is then completely covered in the sawdust & left overnight to cool before being cleaned. This process is what makes raku unique & gives it it's distinctive raku smell. RAKU IS NOT FROST PROOF SO NOT SUITABLE FOR KEEPING OUTDOORS Small Moon Gazing Hare - Ceramic Raku Fired Animal Sculpture Pottery
