Raku vase for ID, impressed F to the base. Many thanks.

Suffice to say it was and is, thank you Naomi
I had this one arrive (off eBay) this week.
It was very dark, but just washed it and the colours are glorious.
It's a present for my son, who has always admired the other (see above).
It will hurt to let it go haha, truly beautiful.

Lovely. :) I've tried washing before now, but if the copper fuming completely oxidises to brown then it stays brown.

I got lucky with this one. I think it was covered in nicotine.

Probably protected it :) I asked Benjamin Eeles how to stop the oxidation and he suggested varnish. Eeek! I didn’t try it.

I don't blame you, I wouldn't either. I'd be a bag of nerves, not sure how that would look and no going back after its done. Scary thought.
