Barro Quemado Pitcher
Crafted by hand in the heart of Oaxaca, this exquisite clay pitcher by Ana Martinez of the Atzompa family is a true work of art. With a classic yet rustic silhouette, this piece showcases the traditional clay-firing techniques that give it a rich, earthy tone and textured finish. Standing at 21 cm tall with an 11 cm diameter, it holds up to 101 oz, making it perfect for serving drinks or simply as a decorative element that commands attention.
Each pitcher is shaped and fired without the use of glazes, preserving its natural clay surface, which adds an authentic, raw appeal. This handcrafted process ensures no two pieces are exactly alike, imbuing each pitcher with its own unique character and subtle variations.
Curation Tip: Display this pitcher on a kitchen shelf or dining table to celebrate its heritage, or fill it with fresh flowers or dried branches for a striking centerpiece. Its neutral tones complement a variety of interiors, from rustic farmhouse to minimalist modern, adding warmth and a story-rich touch to any space.
Huaje Art and Craft's mission is to provide distinctive, handcrafted Oaxacan artisanal crafts that not only adorn your home with beauty but also uplift the families behind each exquisite piece you acquire from us. We aim to celebrate heritage, culture, and craftsmanship while fostering sustainable livelihoods.
