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

The finial Torii gate is symbolic of the transition from the mundane to the sacred. I threw this piece on the wheel and then designed and made the Torii gate finial. It was then 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. 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.
