Description

The history of Raku technique of our horse sculpture dates as far back as the 16th century. Raku pottery is a low firing technique that originated from Japan and traditionally used on ceremonial tea wares.

The modern take on this technique is to remove the decorative bowl while it is still bright red, immediately re-igniting it at a higher temp and enclose the decorative bowl until it has cooled down. This thermal shock creates beautiful natural crackle patterns, unique colors and sometimes metallic effects on the glaze.

With its crackling details, this heavy one of kind piece of art truly looks like it is from a world of its own.
