Tall Lidded Pot Hand thrown by Chris Hawkins
Decorative lidded pot or can be used as an Urn
Size: 24cm High(top of lid) x 15cm Wide - approx. 1 litre as an urn
Raku fired in a clear glaze over white clay, this pot is raku fired in a small gas fired kiln to temperatures around 1,000 degrees centigrade. it's then taken from the kiln whilst still glowing and placed in sawdust: the sawdust instantly combusts and the flames lick around the pot whilst I give the pot time to cool until I hear the glaze start to ping and craze, I bury the pot totally and uncover and re-cover to encourage crazing before leaving the pot buried in sawdust to fully cool.  When the pot has cooled it is taken from the sawdust and needs to be scrubbed clean of the carbon deposits to reveal the crazing patterns
The chance occurrence of RAKU means that no two pieces are alike, each pot is totally different and unique.
RAKU IS NOT SUITABLE FOR FOOD OR WATER 
IT IS NOT FROST-PROOF AND SHOULD NOT BE KEPT OUTSIDE
