Buffalo Spirit Jar
I made two spirit vessel versions of this important animal. Buffalo are our iconic American beasts of the Great Plains and the vast West. Here, I have used found feathers attached to his back and on two sides of his covered jar. I have strung my hand made lamp worked glass beads ending with tiny ceramic owls. The figure is iridescent on both sides. The colors are exciting on this magnificent container. Just as the buffalo itself is magnificent.

More Details
You can view my other buffalo spirit vessel under Large Spirit Vessels. This as all my raku artwork is a one of a kind. Each is treated differently as to figures, glazes, added pieces, jewelry. Each is shaped individually. You can see more photos by e-mailing my at jipottery@comcast.net. Should you wish to own this vessel, the one in the picture is the one you would receive.
Earth’s Spirit Dawns
The raku process leaves its mark on the clay as no other firing method does. When the piece comes out of the kiln at about 1750 degrees F, it is put into sawdust, which immediately ignites. This after burn leaves its mark reminding me of the celestial fires that produced our plant and all of the heaven’s wonders. Here is a vessel that bares the marks of such an after burn. I added a handle to its lid reminiscent of a living creature, applied shiny glaze to it and the side patterns, then to complete the ancient look I added feathers similar to what our early ancestors would have used.
