Copper fumed Raku ceramic Vase made by Simon Eeles, , 2024 hand thrown decorative pottery, colourful present for any occasion.

A distinctive, colourful and iridescent vase that will brighten any home and a perfect gift for any occassion.
This beautiful ceramic copper Raku vase was hand thrown, then fired using the ancient Japanese technique called Raku creating a completely unique ornament. The pot is fired to over 1,000 degrees centigrade, lifted from the kiln, glowing red hot and placed into burning sawdust. The flames and smoke react with the copper 2024 on the surface. The resulting reduction & oxidation process produces the most amazing effects and a stunning array of colours, making each pot a one off.
For our collectors, these pots are unique but the style and colours are replicable so similar ones can be commissioned to create a decorative assortment. See eelespottery.co.uk for more examples.
These Raku pots are still porous so unable to hold water but ideal for dried flowers.
