Obvara is an ancient raku firing technique that is completely non toxic and made using only fermented flour, water it was developed in the Baltic region of Eastern Europe (Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus) in the 12th Century. The nature of the technique results in beautiful tones of brown, black and orange patterns that mimic organic textures of coral, wood or leaves. Due to the nature of the technique no two pieces are ever finished the same and are beautiful in their own distinct way. This is a one-off piece however similar items can be made to order.
