{"product_id":"vintage-petite-black-clay-mezcal-jug-trade","title":"Vintage Petite Black Clay Mezcal Jug (Trade)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis petite 5-inch vessel is a quintessential example of Barro Negro (black clay) pottery from San Bartolo Coyotepec in Oaxaca, Mexico. This world-renowned tradition dates back centuries but was revitalized in the mid-20th century by the legendary potter Doña Rosa. These jugs, traditionally used for storing and serving mezcal, gain their signature deep metallic black sheen through a specific reduction firing process—where oxygen is restricted in the kiln—and meticulous hand-burnishing with a quartz stone before firing. This small vintage jug features a classic globular form with a short, flared rim, characteristic of traditional Oaxacan spirits vessels. Its surface is perfectly smooth and matte-black, showcasing the \"silky\" texture that defines high-quality barro negro. This piece comes with its custom woven wicker stand, which provides both stability for the rounded base and a beautiful organic contrast to the dark, smoldering clay. Despite its small scale, it carries the heavy, artisanal soul of the Oaxacan highlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 4-inch diameter and 5-inch height, this petite jug is the perfect sculptural accent for a home bar, a kitchen niche, or a curated bookshelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\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: 4“(D) x 4.75“(H) top 1.24\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\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: Traditional Globular Mezcal Jug with Woven Wicker Stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Features: Natural metallic black finish; authentic hand-burnished surface; includes custom display ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Origin: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\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: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eExcellent vintage condition with a smooth, intact patina.\u003c\/span\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":49606375244013,"sku":"IMG_9482","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_9482_58d93d5b-510b-46d5-bc60-88af9126be74.jpg?v=1773447470","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/vintage-petite-black-clay-mezcal-jug-trade","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
