The rich colour makes this bowl a stylish partner to cereal, soups or more spectacular suppers.
Handmade in Oaxaca, a state rich in pre-hispanic pottery tradition, the Barro Negro style is one of the most beautiful textures for clay. The workshop takes the natural clay and cleans it by filtering it for 20 days. The clay is then smoked to create the black colour and burnished rather than glazed, by polishing the surface with a quartz crystal until it has a glossy finish with a warm glow. The pieces are then fired in underground pits or kilns, using a wood fire.

This plate is burnished to create a beautiful shine and waterproof, food safe finish. Hand wash with hot water, organic soup and a sponge. You can be confident using forks and spoons but be careful with sharp knives as they can scratch the piece.
Due to the item's individual production, there may be small variations from piece to piece.
