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

The flower is symbolic of serenity, sweetness and transformation. Pit Firing is a special organic process with the end result visually resembling the magical world of the cosmos. The pots are unglazed and finished by the elements of nature. Each piece is totally unique and cannot be replicated! I threw this piece on the wheel with porcelain and then hand carved the lotus flower fineal on the lid. When dry I burnished it with a fine terra sigillata before bisque firing. It was then placed in the ground in a large sawdust lined pit along with other pots. It was covered with kelp, manure, coffee grounds, wood and other organic materials and set fire. I absolutely love this process and the elemental qualities and colors the fire produces! The lid can be temporarily sealed with museum wax or permanently sealed with an epoxy glue.
