Oaxacan Black Clay Vessel
Oaxacan Black Clay Vessel
Couldn't load pickup availability
This vessel is hand-formed in Oaxaca, Mexico, in barro negro, the region's black clay. It is fired in a pit with little oxygen, which turns the clay black without glaze or paint, and then polished. The pottery is made around San Bartolo Coyotepec, just south of Oaxaca city, and each piece varies in tone and shape.
Looking After Barro Negro
It is for display only, as the unglazed clay isn't watertight. Dust it with a dry cloth.
- Material: barro negro clay, unglazed
- Size: approx. 9 x 10cm
- Made in: Oaxaca, Mexico
- Decorative use only
