All of our glazed Raku ceramic animal pottery is fair trade and supports local Communities in Africa. Raku was originally a Japenese method of firing tea ware, but today it has lead to the production of this unique, African-inspired pottery. Each piece of glazed Raku pottery undergoes the skill of at least eight different crafters who then initial the base of their pottery. Each animal is removed from the kiln at 950 degrees celcius and as the pottery begins to cool, the glaze cracks. It is then put into a drum of sawdust where the blackened sawdust settles within the cracks. During the firing process, imperfections appear to the glaze, which makes each piece of Raku animal pottery unique.
