Magestic Wolf Raku Keepsake

Wolf imagery on a memorial piece usually gets chosen for someone who kept their own counsel, and this raku keepsake carries it on a 5-inch round body. The glaze crackles and picks up a metallic cast during the smoke firing, so no two of them come out of the kiln alike.

Sixty cubic inches is the capacity. For an adult that is a share rather than the whole, working from a cubic inch per pound of body weight, and for a dog up to around 60 pounds it is the complete set. Families often order several of the raku pieces at once, one motif per relative, and divide the ashes between them.

• 60 cu in per piece; order more than one if the ashes are being divided
• Different motifs share this body, so a mixed set still matches in size
• Handle it as you would any fired clay, since it will chip on a hard floor
