Can you put water in a raku vase?

1 Answer
Can you put water in a raku vase?
No, you usually cannot put water in a raku vase. The clay used to produce the pottery is highly porous and readily absorbs water. As a result, it may grow damp or even leak. You'll find a variety of raku pottery on 1stDibs.
