    Description

    Barro literally means "mud" but generally means "clay,"   This beautifully hand-crafted and hand-painted Barro Cazuela is made by artisans living in the Oaxacan highlands. The red clay is gathered from the surrounding hills. Bits of wood, stone and corn are used as tools to mould the clay on a traditional banding wheel. The pottery is burnished using a stone and brush to give it a smooth unglazed finish. Finally it is pit fired under corrugated metal with wood, sawdust and cardboard. Made of earthenware or "clay" or in Spanish “Barro" this Cazuela is authentic and a piece of fine art. Barro Cazuela maybe glazed inside or out (or both) then fired over low heat. The results are earthy, stunning and a pleasure to use.
    Add a bit of Mexican pottery to your table with this gorgeous handmade Cazuela De Barro piece. It is beautifully hand painted with beautiful floral along the outside and top of the lid as well. The special and authentic hand shaping of the Barro makes them unique in proportion, an element that makes handmade so beautifully perfect.
    Printed on the bottom is: "Not for Food Use. Only for Decoration. Made in Mexico."
