Handthrown ceramic raku pottery tea bowl or yunomi in crackle white glaze and brushstrokes of turquoise and yellow 2024

2024 Raku tea bowl or yunomi that was handthrown on the wheel and then fired. Nice contrasts of bare clay body and brushstokes of turquoise, yellow and white crackle white glaze. Perfect decoration for anyone who appreciates the uniqueness of raku.

Raku is a process by which pottery is fired at a low temperature and then moved while flaming hot to a closed container (in this case a lidded metal trash can) with filled with hay that ignites and causes a reaction with the glaze which creates unique patterns in texture and color.

Raku while stunning in decor and design, is not food safe, and it is porous. As such, it is for decorative purposes only.
