Here's some more ceramic stuff.. It's Raku which is a Japanese form of firing. It creates the best metallic glazes... gold, bronze, blue.. it is one of the most beautiful way to create sculpture, imo.

ooOOOoo I like it! does the piece symbolize anything or just an abstract?

very nice piece anyway. almost feels archaological to me.

you know korean porcelians and ceramics were very famous for their unique process and ability to make I think greens or something. Japanase imported korean artisans (er..kidnapped ) to learn some of the process (or so the history says).

here is some information I found about korean porcelain.

==============================
A Bit of History of Japanese Ceramics
The production of earthenware in Japan goes back to the neolithic Jomon period (from 10,000 to 300 B.C.). But the beginning of Japanese porcelain as Westerners know it today, started in the early seventeenth century. Japanese feudal lords had invaded Korea and brought with them skilled Korean artisans. They again, had learned from the Chinese how to produce fine porcelain. One of the Korean porcelain makers was Ri Sampei. He is considered as the "father" of Japanese porcelain. In the late sixteenth century the cult of the tea ceremony had spread from China to Japan and promoted the development of porcelain manufacturing.

Although Japanese porcelain production has found to its own style, the influence of Chinese and Korean porcelain manufacturing always remained dominant.

During the nearly five centuries of the Koryô dynasty (918–1392), celadon constituted the main type of ceramics produced on the Korean peninsula. This exquisite ware typically appears gray-green in hue. The color of Koryô celadon owes much to the raw materials—specifically, the presence of iron in the clay and of iron oxide, manganese oxide, and quartz particles in the glaze—as well as to the firing conditions inside the kiln. Temperatures were commonly around, or below, 1150ºC, and the level of oxygen within the kiln was dramatically reduced at some stage of the firing; this is known as a reducing, rather than an oxidizing, atmosphere. Koryô celadon ranges from a plain, undecorated type to objects with incised, carved, mold-impressed, or inlaid designs, and to vessels embellished with colorful compounds like iron oxide (black or brown) and copper oxide (red), and also with gold.

If green is the operative word in Korean ceramics during the Koryô dynasty (918–1392), then white becomes the preferred color under the Chosôn (1392–1910). Although white ware is made in small quantity prior to the Chosôn period, it is adopted as imperial ware in the fifteenth century. This trend follows a similar development in China during the early Ming dynasty (1368–1644). Beyond its elite status, white ware becomes the most demanded and widely manufactured ceramic type in Chosôn Korea.
