Obvara, sometimes called Baltic Raku, is an Eastern European firing technique originated in the Baltic region. The hot (850 – 900 degree centigrade) piece of pottery is taken out of the kiln and quickly immersed into a fermented liquid, made with water, flour, yeast, and sugar. The surface of the pot is scalded, leaving a wonderful variation of color from creamy tans, to browns and black.
