This decorative vase is handcrafted by artisan Anakarem. She works in the time-honored black pottery tradition of Oaxaca, with techniques learned from her father. The fired clay is burnished to a sheen with a piece of quartz or obsidian and fired in a wood-burning kiln, which transforms the clay and gives it a lustrous black color. This lovely little vase has a distinctive round bowl decorated with cutouts.

"Most Pretty Bud Vase"
This little bud vase is very pretty, sturdy but yet delicate in the way the cut outs are around the base. I really like the black clay because one can use with any decor in any room. Thank you so much. I did see the video as to how you make your items and I am very impressed.
