This eye-catching raku plaque (14 × 9.5 cm) is a bold fusion of colour, pattern and unpredictable fire magic. The terracotta glaze forms a warm, earthy backdrop for a repeating starburst motif, each shape breaking through the surface in crisp white. Overlaid black linework adds an expressive, modern twist — a little wild, a little gestural, and full of energy.
 
Finished in the raku kiln, the piece carries all the hallmarks of the process: delicate crackling, smoky speckles, soft flashes of reduction and subtle surface imperfections that make every plaque absolutely unique. The result is a dynamic miniature artwork with real presence — perfect for adding warmth and pattern to a shelf, small display stand or box frame.
 
With its mid-century-inspired geometry and lively hand-painted touches, this plaque works beautifully alone or as part of a mixed raku display.
