Native American Horsehair Raku Pottery Vase

If you cherish organic design, this age-old method of pottery decorating will steal your heart.

Also called horsehair raku, this fascinating art form was used among the Navajo and other indigenous people. Pottery fresh out of the kiln receives a handful of horse hair which results in a unique random design from from the carbonized reaction.

Muted tones blend beautifully with both rustic and contemporary decor. A lovely gift for yourself (we like those!) or any pottery collector.
