Raku Apple Sculpture JR547

Apple sculpture with stem and leaf, Granny green glaze, bare stem, copper glaze on leaf, amber fuming, then reduced. 5" h.

This sculptural piece exhibits a happy Granny green crackle glaze with black crackle on the body and lustre on the leaves in blue greens, tinged with burnt amber edging. A pleasure to view and hold.

Raku firing involves taking the piece from a hot kiln with tongs and putting it in a reduction chamber containing combustible materials, then sealing it to create a lack of oxygen. This process produces unpredictable lustrous and/or crackle glaze results.
