This is a piece I made on the potter's wheel and then carved. It's made with a different clay than I usually use. This has been fired at least 5 times, the glaze just wasn't right so I kept trying and this time I decided it's perfect. It was fired in the manner of Raku, the ancient technique, and then finally in my "luster" kiln. He stands 5"/12.5cm in height. It's glazed inside too so it can be used as a bud vase.
