Raku fired ceramic vessel with red crackle glaze and decorative resist  linear pattern.  The piece has been thrown on the wheel.  After bisque firing to 950°c. sections of the pot are masked off and the piece is coated with a red crackle glaze made from our own recipe and  placed in a raku kiln and fired to 825°c. It is lifted from the kiln when molten and placed in a reduction bin filled with paper and wood chips. A lid is put on allowing the carbon to be trapped by the clay body.   When the piece is removed from the reduction bin a spray of water is applied revealing the unique crackle pattern. The areas without glaze turn black. The lid of the pots has been made in two sections, the base is thrown and the top is hand built, raku fired and smoked.Unique one off piece. Size: H 18cm ( from top of lid) x W:17cm
