Why We Love It
This handcrafted black clay (barro negro) piece is a multi-purpose object that serves as either a candleholder or dry flower vase. Its versatile design allows it to function as a dried flower vase, perfect for displaying delicate stems, or as a candle holder to create a warm, cozy ambiance. 

Shaped by hand and baked in an underground wood fire of thick black smoke, which gives the pieces their black special color. The scalloped top adds a unique texture, while the smooth finish highlights the natural beauty of Mexican barro negro.

Whether styled on a table cloth, dining table, or shelf, this piece blends effortlessly with any décor, offering a subtle nod to traditional craftsmanship.

Brand details

The Ortiz family has been making Barro Negro for many generations and the fourth generation continues with the tradition. Their family-run studio employs over a dozen families in their community as they've expanded over the years.

Barro Negro pieces are one of the most sought-after pottery styles in Mexico. The origins of Barro negro pottery go back to the Monte Albán period (500 BC), with examples of it found at archeological sites. It has remained a traditional craft of the Zapotecs and Mixtecs of the Central Valley area of Oaxaca.

Each piece is handcrafted using locally-sourced Barro Negro, or black clay. No glaze or dyes are used, the clay acquires its color from the special mud in Coyotepec, Oaxaca and the smoke used when baked.
