Pit-fired clay vessel handmade by a female potter in the northern Sierra mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. A stunning object to fill with dried grasses or fresh flowers.

The color is a natural peach tone naturally derived from the local clay. After working the clay into the vessel form, the piece is burnished with a simple tool and then pit-fired. Pit-firing incurs some minor burn marks which we think adds to the beauty of the vase.

Size: 12” high x 7.5” wide x 7.5” deep

Artisan: A third generation potter from the mountains outside of Oaxaca. Modela has been visiting her since 2008.
