Channel ancestral energy with this small Two-Faced Horse Hair Raku Vase. Hand-formed by Althea Llewellyn of Althea Ceramics, this intimate ritual vessel features two sculpted faces gazing outward from opposite sides. During the intense heat of the Raku firing, individual strands of horse hair were laid onto the glowing clay, searing deep, permanent black lines across the surface. These striking markings mimic a delicate network of anatomical veins or roots, visually connecting human form with raw organic alchemy. It serves as a hauntingly beautiful focal point for your altar, representing ancestry, perspective, and the life force within. Available exclusively at Majestic Hudson.
Raku Pottery Care Instructions
Add this section directly to your product page to guide collectors on preserving alternative-fired ceramics:
  • Decorative Use Only: Raku-fired ceramics remain porous after firing and are not watertight. Do not fill this vase with water for live flowers.
  • Dry Botanical Safe: Perfectly safe for displaying dried florals, grasses, seed pods, or ritual feathers.
  • Sunlight Protection: Keep the vase out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent the delicate carbon lines and blue mouth glaze from fading over time.
  • Cleaning Method: Gently wipe the surface with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, abrasive scrubs, or submerge the piece in water.
  • Food Safety: This piece is strictly for decorative and ritual display; it is not food safe or microwave/dishwasher safe.
