CARE: We recommend handwashing this piece to ensure texture remains the same for years. Let fully cool before washing. Some pieces of red clay may filter water (because no glaze or sealant was used). Emerenciana recommends cooking the piece with atole or a thick beverage and letting the piece cool before washing. Doing this several times will “cure” the piece as time and use is the best way to seal barro rojo pieces.
