This striking handmade piece combines the raw, expressive beauty of ferric chloride raku pottery with an elegant hand-blown glass finial, creating a sculptural object that feels both contemporary and timeless.
 
The ceramic base has been raku fired using ferric chloride, producing rich, earthy tones with dramatic surface variations and organic markings. Each firing is completely unique, ensuring this piece is truly one of a kind. The glossy, hand-blown black glass top adds height and contrast, drawing the eye upward and enhancing the sculptural form. Although it resembles a vessel, this piece is purely decorative and not intended for functional use.
 
This piece measures 16cm height x 9cm width at the largest part of the body.
 
Perfect as a statement object for a shelf, console, or curated interior space, it makes an ideal gift for collectors of ceramic art and lovers of distinctive handmade design.
