Ethereal White Raku Globe (Feather & Sugar Detail)

An elemental story for your home The objects we surround ourselves with act as anchors for our mood. Placing a hand-crafted art object in a quiet corner of your living room creates a visual invitation to pause and take a breath. Crafted from brilliant white clay, this small Raku globe is an elemental dance between earth, fire, and air.

As the sphere emerges from the kiln, I brush horsehair, sprinkle sugar grains, and soft feather wisps onto the still hot clay. The hair and feathers burn away instantly, leaving behind delicate, ghostly imprints and smoky shadows alongside the individual caramelised sugar grains. The result is a piece that feels impossibly delicate yet grounded in British studio craft. It makes an extraordinary, memorable gift for anyone who appreciates fine art, nature, and slow living.

The Details:

• Form: Hand-shaped decorative Raku ceramic globe.

• Material: Brilliant white stoneware clay base.

• Crafting Technique: Traditional smoke-fired Raku with horsehair,  sugar, and feather carbon details.

• Size: Approx. 10cm diameter.

• Made by: Hand-formed and fire-finished by Nina in Shropshire.

• Shipping: Lovingly wrapped in 100% plastic-free packaging and sent via Royal Mail Tracked.

One-of-a-kind beauty: Because the sugar, horsehair, and delicate feathers burn directly into the glowing clay during the live fire pull, every single carbon trail and feather silhouette is completely unrepeatable. Yours is a true, one-off moment in time captured in clay.

A gentle note on our small-batch process: Because I work in very small, intentional batches, there may be times when an item is out of stock; if so, I will happily hand-craft your piece to order, a slow-made process that typically takes between 6 to 8 weeks from the wheel to the kiln.
