Barro Negro, Black Clay Pottery, Short Decorative Vase Made in San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca.

This elegant Barro Negro vase, handcrafted in Oaxaca, is both a statement piece and a celebration of the region’s traditional black clay artistry. Each piece is baked in an underground wood fire of thick black smoke which gives them their special color, so each piece not only glows with rich black color but is also one of the most sought-after pottery styles in all of Mexico. Plus, its short, rounded body is carved with intricate details, while the elongated neck offers a sleek and modern contrast. Perfect as a decorative vase or a centerpiece for special gatherings, it’s a stunning addition to any home.

No glaze or dyes are used, the clay acquires its black color from the special clay and the smoke used when baked.

Handmade: Each piece is one of a kind and every carving is unique to each vase.
