{"product_id":"vintage-oaxacan-black-clay-vessel-barro-negro-8-inch","title":"Vintage San Bartolo Black Clay Global Vessel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 8-inch vessel is a larger expression of the storied Barro Negro tradition from San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca. These rounded vessels were historically used for larger-scale storage or as significant household objects. The smoldering, metallic finish is achieved through a unique \"reduction firing\" technique that traps carbon within the clay, coupled with the laborious hand-burnishing process that gives the piece its silky, light-catching surface without the use of artificial glazes. This piece features a perfect globular silhouette with a subtly flared, minimalist rim. Its expansive surface area showcases the exceptional hand-burnishing characteristic of high-end Oaxacan pottery. Like its petite counterpart, this vessel sits upon a custom woven ring stand, which elevates the rounded base and adds a beautiful textural contrast of natural fiber against the deep, matte-black clay. It embodies a \"Modern Primitive\" soul—ancient in origin but perfectly aligned with contemporary minimalist aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its symmetrical 8-inch proportions, this vessel is a masterclass in organic balance. It is an ideal focal point for a coffee table, a kitchen island, or a dining room console.  The woven base gives it a finished, gallery-ready look that works equally well on raw wood or stone surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eMid-to-Late 20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Size: 7.75“(D) x 8“(H) Top 2.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHand-Burnished Black Clay (Barro Negro)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Color: Blue \u0026amp; White\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Design: Large Globular Storage Vessel with Woven Ring Stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Features: Deep metallic black patina; hand-burnished matte finish; original custom display ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Origin: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSan Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Excellent vintage condition; smooth surface with authentic character marks from the pit-firing process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49670291423469,"sku":"IMG_9491","price":335.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_9491_0b1347fb-bb65-4dc6-90b4-3579accf6639.jpg?v=1773693345","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/vintage-oaxacan-black-clay-vessel-barro-negro-8-inch","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
