Bob Smith Ferric Chloride Raku Vase on Altar

A striking one-of-a-kind Raku vase on altar by ceramic artist Bob Smith, created using the specialized ferric chloride firing technique. Rich copper, rust and fiery orange tones move across the vessel beneath an intricate crackled surface, while raised textural details around the neck and coordinating ceramic altar give the work a distinctly sculptural presence. Ferric chloride firing is an advanced alternative firing process known for its unpredictable surface effects—no two firings produce exactly the same result. Bob Smith brings decades of experience in Raku and alternative firing to this exceptional piece. The artwork consists of two separate pieces: the vase and its coordinating ceramic altar.
