Decorative Bowl - retailer Handmade in Oaxaca - Mexican Black Clay

The rich colour makes this bowl a stylish partner to side dishes or as a decorative object on your dining table or sideboard.

PRODUCTION
Handmade in Oaxaca, a state rich in pre-hispanic pottery tradition, the Barro Negro (black clay) style has a tactile finish with a subtle shine. The workshop takes the natural clay and cleans it by filtering it for 20 days. The clay is then smoked to create the black colour and burnished rather than glazed, by polishing the surface with a quartz crystal until it has a glossy finish with a warm glow. The pieces are then fired in underground pits retailer or kilns, using a wood fire.

CARE & INFO

The bowls burnished to create a beautiful shine and waterproof, food safe finish. Hand wash with hot water, organic soup and a sponge.

Due to the items' individual production, there may be small variations from piece to piece.
