Smoke Fired Terracotta Urn I
This piece was made on the potters wheel with terra-cotta clay. The surface is decorated by carving. The soft sheen is achieved through the application of terra sigillata, followed with light burnishing. After firing in an electric kiln, this piece was fired a second time inside a saggar, containing sawdust to create the smoke marks or “fire clouds” on the surface.
This piece is fragile and it’s not to be used as a dishware. Dimensions 3.5”x3.5”x6”
