About The Raku Lidded Jar

This generously-sized vessel is entirely well formed and handsome.

Wishing we could link it to the talented individual who made it.

Wikipedia described raku ware as follows:

Raku ware is a type of Japanese pottery using low firing temperatures (resulting in a fairly porous body); lead glazes and the removal of pieces from the kiln while still glowing hot. In the traditional Japanese firing process, the fired Raku piece is removed from the hot kiln and put directly into water or allowed to cool in the open air.

Raku techniques have been adopted and modified by contemporary potters worldwide.

About Artist Unknown
