Why We Love It
This Spiked Black Clay (Barro Negro) Unglazed Vase is a striking fusion of traditional Mexican craftsmanship and modern design. Handcrafted from authentic Mexican black clay in San Bartolo de Coyotepec, this vase showcases a bold spiked design honoring the Pochote tree, a native tree with pronounced thorns.

Each spike on this cup is formed and applied by hand and baked in an underground wood fire, which gives the pieces their black color. The black metallic finish highlights the beauty of the barro, known for its durability and unique smoky hues derived from ancient Oaxacan firing techniques.

Perfect for dried botanicals or as a standalone art piece, this vase brings a touch of cultural heritage to your space.

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.
