Raku Premier Pokéball
This Pokéball was made by throwing a closed ball shaped piece on the wheel. Once dried enough, a foot was trimmed at the bottom and then the enclosed ball was cut open and further refined in the trimming process. Hinges were added after the firing process that opens it just like a Pokéball! It’s perfect for holding jewelry, keys, or small knickknacks.
Approximate dimensions: 3”H x 3.5”W

Raku is a Japanese firing process that involves taking glazed pieces out of the kiln at around 1800 degrees Fahrenheit and placed in a material that easily catches on fire such as sawdust or newspaper. This technique is used to starve the piece of oxygen and can create a myriad of colors within the glaze. It can produce beautiful results but at the risk of high breakage rates during the firing process due to the thermal shock the pieces are put through.
