This is a Raku styled Urn created by Karen Brodie.
This is a decorative urn with a beautifully textured surface. Its shape is elegantly rounded with a narrower neck that leads to a rounded lid. The body of the urn is adorned with intricate geometric patterns, giving it a classic artisanal feel. The metallic finish showcases a spectrum of colors, including rich browns, vibrant blues, and subtle hints of purple, which shift and shimmer depending on the light. This effect is created through the process of Raku firing, no two pieces would ever be the same.
The handle on the lid is artistically curved, adding to the urn's aesthetic appeal, and the overall design suggests a blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary artistic expression. Such a piece could symbolize cultural heritage, craftsmanship, or even serve as a decorative element in a modern home.
This urn serves both functional and decorative purposes, often seen in artistic displays or as a vessel for holding ashes in memorial contexts.
This piece was created in 2021.
The overall dimensions of the pottery are 8" tall by 7" wide.
