Loading... Please wait...This simple and elegant cremation urn is hand thrown in the Raku fire process. A very popular ceramic urn, Raku is a traditionally an ancient Japanese firing process used in the production of stoneware. Crafted by hand by a ceramic artist in the state of Washington.
In Raku firing each piece of pottery is taken from the kiln red hot, the molten glaze silken and glowing. Then it is placed in a bed of straw or leaves in an air-tight container. The dry plant material immediately bursts into flame and the “reduction chamber” is sealed. The flame and the smoking, oxygen starved atmosphere transform the glaze surface creating the unique, seemingly ancient, colors and textures of raku. Thus, each of our Raku-fired funeral urns are one of a kind and unique in the particulars of the design.
