In 1998 I started working on more variations of the tea bowl and experimented with larger pieces using the same aesthetic. I also started experiments in high fired ceramics trying to hold the feeling of wabi.

The following are images of many of the vessels that I completed in 1998.

When you move your cursor over a thumbnail image, its number and its price will pop up if you are using MS Internet Explorer 3+ or Netscape 4. Clicking on the thumbnail will bring up a large photo of the item and more information about it. Photos with borders have been sold.

Because raku ceramics are fired at relatively low temperatures and exposed to temperature shocks, raku ceramics are less durable and their glazes are not as stable as high fired 'functional' pieces. For these reasons raku wares should be considered to be nonfunctional artworks.

Some of the bowls below were damaged in my move to a new house. I have not yet had time to mark those that are not available because of that damage.
