Wow what a great big cat ornament! This lion ornament is one of the biggest sellers along with the Raku ceramic meerkats which are also decorative animal ornaments. Our big cat lions make wonderful ceramic ornaments and our Raku pottery animals are fast becoming modern collectables. The watchful relaxed lioness and her playful cub look good anywhere and come in the cream colour and a eye catching multi coloured version. If you know anyone who likes big cats this is a great gift idea for any cat lover.

Raku was originally a Japanese method of firing tea ware, but today it has lead to the production of this unique, African-inspired pottery. Each piece of Raku pottery undergoes the skill of at least eight different crafters who then initial the base of their pottery. It 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 pottery unique.
