Raku Fired Mushrooms 001

Hand sculpted mushroom figurines with hand painted glaze design. Raku firing is an ancient Japanese ceramics technique where glazed ceramics are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot and are then placed in a combustible material, such as sawdust or newspaper. This technique is used to starve the piece of oxygen, which creates a variety of colors within the glaze. Due to the nature of the firing each piece is one of a kind. approximate dimensions: 3” x 3.5” x 3.5”
