Hana ~ Flower
The RAAQUU Hana mini vase collection comes in six shapes and five finishes. Each vase is individually raku fired, and the range works as a charming personal gift, a standout tabletop piece, or in quantity for corporate gifts and Malaysian gifts.
You get: the number of vases you order, in the shape and finish of your choice.
The six shapes (all 3.5 in tall)
-
Hana F (1.6 in wide): a clay interpretation of a tulip, with two overlapping petals forming the body.
-
Hana L (1.8 in wide): a miniature urn whose bulbous top tapers slenderly to a smaller base.
-
Hana O (2 in wide): a classical pottery vase shape, suited to a single wide-headed flower stalk.
-
Hana W (2 in wide): a classical vase shape expressed in miniature.
-
Hana E (1.4 in wide): a contemporary, cylindrical miniature design.
-
Hana R (1.2 in wide): the most geometric and edgy design in the series, with a needle-like shape and a faceted surface.
About raku firing
Raku ceramics are special because the firing is unpredictable. Each piece is fired in an extremely hot kiln and removed while still red-hot. It goes straight into a reduction chamber, usually a simple metal bin filled with sawdust or paper. The heat of the piece ignites the material, and the chamber is sealed for a while. What happens inside gives every raku piece its own colours and patterns.
Adil's raku pieces come in five finishes: Full Copper Matte, Half Copper Matte, Smoked (or "naked"), Carbon Copper and Obvara, a slightly different firing technique.
About RAAQUU
Almost 15 years ago, Adil Ghani fell for raku pottery during a ceramics training programme in Japan. His decision to dedicate himself to raku led to the founding of RAAQUU. No RAAQUU piece can be reproduced, so each is a one-of-a-kind work with its own story.
Care
This vase is decorative and cannot hold water for plants. Do not use it as a drinking vessel. Keep it indoors and out of direct sunlight.
Every piece is handmade, so the item you receive may differ slightly from the photos in size, shape, glaze and shade. That variation is part of owning a RAAQUU piece.
