Global Views Digit Bowl
- The Digit Vases and Bowl are exquisite examples of handcrafted Portuguese ceramics, created using an ancient Japanese firing method known as Raku.
- The journey begins with skilled artisans hand-forming the clay into the desired shapes for the vases and bowl.
- The formed clay pieces are fired in a kiln at relatively low temperatures.
- When the ceramics reach the optimal temperature in the kiln, they are quickly removed while still glowing hot.
- These red-hot pieces are then placed into a container filled with combustible materials like sawdust, leaves, or paper.
- This ignition creates a reduced atmosphere within the container.
- As a result of the rapid cooling and reduction process, the glazes on the ceramics begin to crack and form intricate and often unpredictable patterns on the surface.
- This crackling effect is one of the hallmark features of the Raku firing process.
