Inspired by the soft, papery petals of wild poppies, this small Raku vase is hand-shaped before taking a trip into the live flames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I sprinkle sugar across the white-hot surface, it sizzles and caramelises into tiny, dark freckles against the pale, gritty clay, while strands of real horsehair sear into delicate, feather-like trails. The result is a piece that feels both earthy and impossibly delicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA tactile anchor for quiet corners\u003c\/b\u003e Because our brains love sensory contrast, the tactile shift between the raw, white textured clay body and the smooth, carbonised lines makes this tiny vase endlessly intriguing to look at and hold. Place it on a stack of books or pair it with a single dried poppy head to bring a calm, artistic atmosphere into your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Details:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e White textured stoneware clay base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrafting Technique:\u003c\/b\u003e Traditional smoke-fired Raku with real horsehair and sugar application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e Small, tactile accent size — approx. 9cm cm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMade by:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-shaped and fire-finished by Nina in Shropshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDisplay Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed for dried flowers, seed pods, or display (traditional unglazed Raku clay remains naturally porous).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping:\u003c\/b\u003e Sent via Royal Mail Tracked in eco-friendly, recyclable packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne-of-a-kind beauty:\u003c\/b\u003e Because the sugar and horsehair burn directly into the glowing glaze during the live fire pull, the black carbon trails and caramelised speckles on the white textured clay are entirely unrepeatable.
