Ceramic Vase in Handmade, Large Pottery Vase, Pit Fire Raku Alternative Fire, Ceramic Fine Art

Description

6 1/2" tall and 6" wide. Pit Firing is a magical process. The pots are unglazed and finished by the elements of nature. Each piece is totally unique and cannot be replicated! I threw this piece on the wheel with porcelain and then burnished it with a fine terra sigillata before bisque firing. It was then placed in the ground in a large sawdust lined pit along with other pots. It was covered with kelp, manure, coffee grounds, wood and other organic materials and set fire. I absolutely love this process and the elemental qualities and colors the fire produces! This pot has been sealed with an acrylic sealer for durability and protection. It is a decorative piece and will not hold water without a liner.
