- Perforations on each side of the vase to accommodate the wooden stick.
- First baking in an electric oven.
- Glazing after the application of an undercoat and before a second firing in a special Raku gas-fired outdoor kiln.

Precautions for optimal use:
- As naked raku is porous, I advise against putting water or food in this vase. This vase is ideal for floral arrangements of dried flowers.
- The marbling resulting from the smoking phase of the piece is composed of carbon, so it is not advisable to expose a Raku Nu piece to direct sunlight for too long.
More than just a decorative object, this Raku Nu ceramic vase embodies the elegance of Japanese design and the silky beauty of polished clay. This unique creation will undoubtedly enhance your interior.
All the pieces available here are made by me with love and passion in my workshop in Hossegor (in the southwest of France).
