This raku vessel features a flattened, spherical shape with a wide body and a narrow neck. The piece showcases a glossy green and metallic glaze, accented with flowing organic patterns in brown and black. The color transitions are typical of the raku firing process, which creates unpredictable and dramatic effects due to the rapid cooling and reduction techniques.

Evan's distinctive style of raku pottery produced interesting fired and burnt glazes, both gloss and matte, that emulate patina, oxidation and verdigris, signed and numbered on the felt bottom.

Raku is a technique of firing pieces in a 2,000 degree fire and then quickly submerging them in a pit of leaves or paper to reduce the chemical reaction on the surface, creating a broken eggshell texture or multi hued lusters of cobalt blue and copper red sheens. See less
