This is a one of a kind raku fired monster planter with oil spill type patina.

This planter has been made from Ashraf Hanna clay, and raku fired to 1000 degrees meaning despite being glazed it may have some porosity. Best suited for plants that need little watering, otherwise I’d recommend sitting it in a tray to be on the safe side.

This planter is not food safe.

Raku firing is a process of using a gas kiln to bring the temperature up quickly to 1000 degrees, and then removing the work whilst hot and placing them in bins of combustible materials, before creating a reduction environment by putting the lids on top to remove the oxygen in the air. This last part of the process means that the glaze can react to the combustibles, creating different colours depending on where the heat has caught the glaze. The result is that no two pieces are the same & you never quite know what you’re going to get!
