Barro Negro Pochote Copalero Incense Burner

$50.00

WHY WE LOVE IT
This Barro Negro Pochote Copalero Incense Burner is handcrafted in San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca, Mexico, by fourth-generation ceramicists using ancestral techniques. Made from a special Oaxacan clay, each piece develops its signature lustrous black finish and subtle metallic sheen through a traditional underground wood-firing process.

Its sculptural spiked rim is inspired by the Pochote tree, native to Oaxaca and known for its thorns and resilience. Perfect for burning copal, sage, or incense, each handmade copalero is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece for everyday ritual.

The perfect handcrafted vessel for copal, palo santo or incense.

How to use

  • Clean: Rinse occasionally with warm water and gently cleanse a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive soaps or scrubs to preserve the natural clay finish. Handwash only.
  • Dry: Let the dish air dry completely before storing. This keeps the clay strong and prevents moisture buildup.
  • Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure: Barro is a natural, porous material — while durable, it’s best not to leave it soaking in water in the sink for long periods.
  • Handle with Care: Each piece is handmade and unique. A little cariño (love) goes a long way — handle gently to protect the spikes and craftsmanship

about the brand:

Familia Ortiz

BARRO NEGRO CERAMICS

For four generations, the Familia Ortiz have been crafting barro negro, a revered Oaxacan black pottery tradition. Their artistry not only preserves this time-honored craft, but also sustains 10 families in their community.

Hand-shaped in San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca, Barro Negro (meaning "black clay") is known for its deep, smoky hue, and natural sheen. This ancient pottery dates back to the Monte Alban period (500 BC), where it was originally crafted into jars and vessels. Today it remains a living tradition of Zapotec and Mixtec artisans, embodying centuries of cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
