The pottery is cast from our originals, this makes the shapes and sizes very consistent and delivery times predictable. The Raku glazes have a random quality and can vary depending on glaze thickness and firing conditions. It is always a subjective call in ceramics as to what is a technical flaw or an aesthetic quality, we do our best to make that distinction on a piece to piece basis, please keep this in mind if you have a low tolerance for glaze inconsistencies.
Our primary business revolves around wholesale accounts which are scattered around the US. A list of locations for this line of Raku pottery can be found on Wholesale Raku outlets.
