I chose these raku vases because they look almost as if they're jade. The sticks in the vase also give it an appealing look to it, as the one on the right reminds me of a tree. Also, the vase in the middle has two abnormal looking handles on the sides which add an interesting look to it. The artist also might have added on the top part of the middle bowl.

Taller Raku Vase

I chose this piece because i think the way the artist makes the cracks in the piece really work good and i also like the shape of the piece.

Jordan- Tall Vase


This wheel thrown, raku vase has a shiny copper finish and a bit of green around the bottom. I chose this because it is rather big and small base and even pretty big top. It's handles are very tiny like knobs not really meant for actual holding but it has a nice design to it and putting handles on both sides just make it more appealing.

I chose this raku fired pot because I like the shape of it how it bulges out in the center and is choked in near the top. I also like how it's metallic and the designs on it.

Raku Fired Vase

I picked these raku fired vases because the walls are uneven. Unlike normal throwing where the walls should be even these vases make it there keystone.

I chose this raku vase because I liked how the copper was mixed into it and I like the shape of the lip.
