Obvara Fired Vases/vessels
Obvara firing is a raku firing technique that originated in Eastern Europe around the 12th Century. The hot (1650 degree F) piece of pottery is taken out of the kiln and quickly immersed into a fermented mixture of water, flour, yeast, and sugar. The finish is scalded onto the porous surface, creating stunning patterns.
The smaller vase stands 4.5 inches high and is 1.75 inches across the rim. The larger vessel is 5.5” tall with a crackled surface and is 3.75” across the rim. The larger vessel stands 5.75” tall and is 3.5” across the rim. They have been sealed inside with water based urethane so that they are water tight.
These are truly one of a kind pieces.
