Raku modern succulent planter Contemporary cactus planter pot turquoise blue green Ceramic Flower pot herb planter 5 1/2 x 4 inches

Description

This one of a kind heavily textured planter was fired in my raku kiln. I removed the pot from the kiln when it reached about 1800 degrees Fahrenheit and placed it in a container containing combustible materials, in this case Aspen leaves and Pine Needles and then sealed the container tightly so that the carbon from the smoke would be drawn into the unglazed surfaces of the clay body. The black you see on this pot is from the smoke that was drawn into the clay. The pot is approximately 5 1/2 inches in diameter and about 4 inches in height. The foot raises the pot about 1/4 inch and the drainage hole is 3/4 inch in diameter. Remember that raku pottery is fragile by nature and this pot will not be as durable and long lived as a stoneware it may be more along the lines of terra cotta .
