Ceramic Cremation Urn for Ashes, Copper Raku Kintsugi Funeral Vessel, SacredUrnsEtc by Susan Fontaine Pottery

Kintsugi Pottery is an ancient technique of embracing flaws and imperfections in a piece by repairing and finishing with gold (or another precious metal) to raise the piece to a higher, more refined and valuable level. The underlying symbolic message is one of transformation…as it expresses out ability to rise above our imperfections and challenges, through resiliency and healing to attain rebirth and a higher state of being. I threw this piece on the wheel and then hand carved the lotus flower fineal on the lid. The Lotus flower was made as an offering and is symbolic of serenity, sweetness and transformation. It was then drip glazed with a Copper raku glaze and fired in a gas kiln. At a precise temperature it was quickly pulled and “reduced” in a trash can to produce the elemental effects. Any scratches from when the piece was pulled from the fire are filled with copper. Raku pottery is magical! The colors can shift abit after cooling from the fire and should not be stored in direct sunlight.
