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.
