This large hand shaped bowl made of chamotte clay was fired with the low-firing Raku process. The piece was removed from the kiln while red hot, which gave the glaze a special effect.

For almost 40 years Andrea Müller has refined her skills and expanded her knowledge of the materials she works with. Clay and porcelain form the basis of every work, processed by experienced hands and finished with a Raku or sawdust firing. Over the years, she has gradually defined her aesthetic. Her works are characterised by shapes such as cylinders or spheres, which she combines in myriad ways, always following the golden ratio. This structured approach to creation has produced a distinctive oeuvre, which has been recognised internationally. Her works can be found in private collections and museums including the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin and Schloss Pilnitz in Dresden.

This hand turned vessel, crafted from chamotte clay, is an example of Andrea’s ongoing investigation into firing processes and random fluctuations in the finishing. This piece was partially covered with two layers of glaze, and special effects were accidentally created during the Raku firing process at 1,000°C.
