Clayton Studio Pottery Raku Pierced Leaf Bowl Metallic Crackle Glaze 10.5"

ITEM SPECIFICS: Contemporary, Studio Pottery, Raku, Pierced Leaf Motif, Crackle Glaze, Metallic Flashing, Signed

A striking, highly tactile centerpiece bowl by studio potter Clayton. This substantial 10.5-inch vessel features an intricate, pierced design of overlapping leaves forming the body, framed by a thick rim of classic white raku crackle glaze. The interior basin and the textured leaves display spectacular metallic flashing—vibrant flashes of bronze, copper, and deep blue—achieved through a masterful raku reduction firing. The unglazed, heavily carbon-smoked base bears the deeply incised signature "CLAYTON." A dramatic, museum-quality statement piece for any contemporary ceramics or art glass collection.

Aura's Logistics Note: At 1 lb 5.6 oz and 10.5 inches wide, this easily clears the Tier A shipping threshold. However, because raku pottery is less dense and more brittle than high-fired stoneware, you must strictly enforce the 2-Inch Padding Rule (Rule #4) during fulfillment. Ensure high-density foam completely isolates those delicate pierced leaf cutouts from any exterior box pressure.
