Spiked Barro Negro Decorative Vase

$70.00

Why We Love It
This Spiked Black Clay (Barro Negro) Vase is a striking fusion of traditional Mexican craftsmanship and modern design. Handcrafted from authentic Mexican black clay in San Bartolo de Coyotepec by the Ortiz Family, this vase showcases a bold 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 nature and Oaxaca to your space.

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.

Gorgeous!

This is a stunning, well made piece of art that is worth every penny.
The first order I placed arrived with a crack, and customer service was extremely prompt, kind, and immediately sent me a replacement. When the replacement arrived, they checked in to make sure all was okay. Absolutely stellar customer care! Thank you so much!
