WHY WE LOVE IT
This Black Floral Huancito Vase is a one-of-a-kind piece that pays homage to the Purèpecha tradition of burnished clay. Each vessel is shaped and drawn by hand, revealing intricate floral motifs that honor Michoacan's rich flora and fauna.

The black color is achieved from smoke in the firing process, not synthetic dyes. Perfect for displaying dried flowers, fresh blooms, or standing alone as a sculptural statement piece.

*Because this carafe is unglazed and naturally porous, it may sweat slightly when filled with liquid. We recommend placing it on a small tray or coaster to protect your surfaces.

Brand details

Jesus Espicio and his family continue the Purépecha tradition of barro bruñido (burnished clay) in Huancito, Michoacán, where pottery is both art and everyday life. From digging local clay to hand-painting fine lines and polishing each piece with a smooth stone, their process reflects generations of care and technique.

How to use

Cure before use: Submerge the piece completely in water for 20 minutes to allow the clay to absorb moisture and seal naturally. After soaking, rinse well multiple times until water comes out clear.
Clean: Rinse occasionally with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives to preserve the natural clay finish.
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.

Do Put in the Dishwasher!
