This small vase features a mirror-finish copper-blue glaze, with with swirls of copper, red, iridescent blues, and purples. This vase has a number of sister pieces, which would make an excellent set. The ribbed rim is smoked, and provides an excellent contrast to the glaze below. Sit and get lost in the swirling patterns of flame left on the glaze.
Raku is an exciting ceramics process where the piece is taken from the kiln when the piece is glowing hot and the glaze is molten (approximately 1000C). It is then added to combustible materials, which react with the glaze to capture the fiery patterns that you see here. Given the unpredictable nature of the process, each piece is 100% unique, with the flames leaving their “fingerprint” on each pot. While we have a few glazes that are our favorites, we are always experimenting, and excited to see what the fire with do next! You retail can see videos of the process via Instagram @brighentidesign.
