Handmade Imperial Blue Raku Ceramic Cremation Urn
The Imperial Blue Raku Ceramic Cremation Urn is a handmade funeral urn, each piece crafted to order in the traditional Japanese Raku-fired ceramic art process by an accomplished ceramic artist in the U.S.A.
Raku ceramics are crafted in a unique process, resulting in one-of-a-kind designs that display incredible depth of beauty. 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 as the “reduction chamber” is sealed. The flame and the smoking oxygen-starved atmosphere transform the glaze surface, creating raku's unique, seemingly ancient colors and textures. Thus, each of our Raku-fired funeral urns are one of a kind and completely unique in the particulars of the design. The urn you receive will look different from the one pictured above.
