Small in size, enormous in presence. This lidded raku jar is hand thrown with a round, satisfying belly and a delicate collared lid — the kind of piece that fits perfectly in the palm. After throwing and trimming the piece is bisque fired. It refired in the kiln to 1250 degrees fahrenheit, pulled out, then singed with grouse feathers and horsehair. Sometimes a smoke trail results leaving behind a canvas of creamy white swept with bold, organic plumes of carbon black — every line and tendril a record of fire and air working together. No two are ever alike. Intended for display rather than food use (or only dry food items like rice) this jar is a beautiful object for a shelf, a bedside table, or anywhere that deserves a small, extraordinary thing.
