AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vaso Raku
Height: 25 cm
Because this is handmade work, there may be slight variations in size and color compared to the photos and between different pieces in the same series.
A vase shaped and wheel-thrown by hand, with gray crackled glaze tones on a white chamotte clay body at 5%.
The piece was created using the Raku process. A traditional Japanese ceramic firing technique dating back to the 16th century. This method is characterized by its spectacular and unpredictable aesthetics, with glazes and decorations that often take on unique and unrepeatable effects.
The piece was fired in a first firing in a neutral atmosphere for about nine hours at 880°C and, after applying the glaze, it was fired again in a gas kiln at 980°C.
Once the object reaches the desired temperature and the glazes have fused, it is quickly removed from the kiln with tongs.
Once removed from the kiln, the object was immediately immersed in a combustible material (in this case, sawdust).
This causes an accelerated oxidation reaction, which leads to cracks in the glaze.
You can find a demonstration on my Instagram account @martinasementia
The vases themselves are highly glazed and waterproof; there is nothing toxic or dangerous that could leak.
Remember, this is not factory-made, mass-produced ceramics; each vase is unique. All pieces are entirely hand-shaped, wheel-thrown, and glazed in my studio in Lecco, Italy.
