Features of Raku Ceramics:
Firing technology:

Raku ceramics are fired at low temperatures and then taken out of the kiln red hot.
The pieces are often placed in combustible material such as sawdust or leaves, creating a reducing atmosphere that affects the glaze and material.
Surface structure:

The drastic change in temperature and the subsequent reduction creates characteristic cracks and unique color patterns in the glaze.
The surfaces can be both matt and shiny and often have metallic effects.
Colors and effects:

Raku glazes are known for their intense colors and metallic effects.
Typical colors include black, white, coppery red, and bright blues and greens, often with iridescent or metallic hues.
Handwork:

Each piece of Raku ceramic is unique because the firing process and subsequent treatment cannot be completely controlled.
The technology requires a high level of craftsmanship and experience.
Aesthetics:

The random patterns and cracks created during the firing process give Raku ceramics a unique and unpredictable beauty.
These irregularities are valued as expressions of natural imperfection and transience, a concept known in Japanese aesthetics as "wabi-sabi."
Application:
Raku ceramics are often used for decorative purposes, such as vases, bowls, sculptures and other works of art. Due to its fragility and special manufacturing techniques, it is rarely used for everyday objects. Raku ceramics are particularly popular among collectors and art lovers who appreciate the craftsmanship and unique aesthetic properties of these ceramics. less
