Barro Negro Flowers Pitcher Handmade in San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca

This small barro negro pitcher was handmade in San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca, and features delicate floral appliqués, called filigrana, sculpted directly onto its curved body. With its dark, burnished finish and soft pouring lip, it’s a beautiful piece of functional Mexican folk art.

Each flower is hand-modeled without the use of molds, giving the pitcher a tactile, dimensional quality that reflects the slow artistry of Oaxaca’s black clay tradition. The deep color comes from a centuries-old firing technique in underground ovens without oxygen, which also gives the clay its sheen. While perfect for pouring juices or holding table flowers, it’s just as special as a shelf accent or kitchen gift that reflects Mexico’s artisanal heritage.
