Naked raku is a rather recent variation on raku firing. A special slip is applied to the pot, which prevents the raku glaze from adhering fully. The glaze shrinks and flakes off after firing. Only black lines and dots, caused by smoke migrating through the crackle in the glaze, remain on the pot. Here you can see some examples.
