Raku was first developed by Korean potters and adapted by the Japanese to use for tea bowls in their tea ceremony. American raku pottery is made using a low fire technique where the kiln temperature is rapidly brought up to 1600-1900 degrees F. The pots are removed with tongs and placed in a metal container with combustible materials and the container is covered to smother the flames. The post firing reduction and fuming of the pots creates flashes of unpredictable color. Raku pottery is for decorative use only and will not hold water and is not food safe.
