About the Item

A stunning raku fired decorative bowl is designed by Michel Brainin from Honfleur, France. The impressive size is 21 1/4" Diameter x 2 3/8" H, weighs 23 pounds. This wonderfully hand-crafted decorative bowl would look wonderful on any table or large countertop. Very good vintage condition. Similar to Paul Soldner pottery and Suzanne Ramie for Madoura style ceramics. Raku is a Japanese word that can be translated as enjoyment, happiness, or comfort. In 1580, the potter Chijiro is thought to be the first to produce this form of ware. He developed a low-fire pottery process in which he placed ware directly into a red-hot kiln, then once the glazes had melted, removing the ware from the still red-hot kiln and allowing the pottery to cool outside the kiln. This direct process was well received, especially by enthusiasts of the tea ceremony. In 1598 a gold seal was presented to Chijiro (or possibly his son) by the ruler Hideyoshi. Raku thus became Chijiro's family title. The Raku family continues making their pottery in Chijiro's tradition; the current master is Raku Kichizaemon XV.
