Here is a sweet little raku spirit cottage (or fairy house!) decorated with violet flower patterns. This one feels a little more spiritual than some of the others, still happy but a little mystical too. It's carved in the kurinuki technique and would be beautiful as an incense holder for small cones or short sticks, as a shrine or altar decoration, or just to hold some precious treasures.
The base of the house is 5.1cm long by 4.9cm wide and 3cm tall. With the roof on, the whole thing is 6.2cm long by 6.2cm wide and approximately 7cm tall. The roof lifts off easily. If you wish to burn incense inside, please be ware that the smoke will drift out gently through the chimney and a little from under the roof too. I find it a lovely, gentle effect.
This spirit cottage is made of stoneware, glazed with non-toxic glaze, and raku fired for the beautiful effects of flame and smoke. It can live outside if it's in a dry place, but I would recommend bringing it indoors during winter as it's not frost proof.
*Please note that all spirit houses are sent insured!*
Through my work, I hope to bring a little nature, peace, gentleness, and spirit to the world. I make all of my pieces entirely by hand with natural materials.
