This raku ceramic urn is truly a piece of art made by one of California's leading award winning artists. The piece is individually hand thrown. Mike, the artist, formulates his own glazes. Bamboo strips have been inlayed on lid. Bamboo works as the natural element to complete and balance each piece between shaped and organic elements. Raku is an ancient ceramic art form originating in Japan. Pots are quickly removed from the kiln when glowing red, approximately 1800 degrees. They are immediately sealed in a can of leaves or paper where they erupt into flame. The unique patterns of metallic colors in the glaze result from the flame, smoke and rapid cooling. The work reflects the unpredictable nature of the firing. You will love this unique work of art to celebrate the life of your loved one. Each piece is one of a kind and signed by the artist on the bottom.
