{"product_id":"pair-of-vintage-oaxacan-black-clay-vases","title":"Pair of Vintage Oaxacan Black Clay Vases","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking pair of handmade vessels from the Oaxaca Highlands of Mexico, famous for its distinct \"Barro Negro\" (Black Clay) tradition. These vases are defined by their satin black finish and traditional tripod (three-legged) silhouette, a form rooted in ancient Zapotec design. Unlike glazed ceramics, the deep black color is achieved through a specific smoke-firing process and burnishing with a quartz stone before firing. The surface features faint, hand-incised geometric or floral motifs, showcasing the artisan's touch without overwhelming the sleek, organic form.\u003cbr\u003eThese Oaxacan tripod vases are essential elements for creating a \"Desert Modern\" or \"Organic Minimalist\" aesthetic. Their matte black finish provides a stunning, grounding contrast when styled on light oak shelving or white plaster mantels. Because traditional Oaxacan clay is porous, these are best utilized as sculptural dry vases.\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: 4.5“(D) x 8.5“(H)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBlack Clay (Barro Negro)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Color: Black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Product Type: Clay Vases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Style: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePre-Hispanic Revival, Desert Modern, Boho\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Origin: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eOaxaca, Mexico (San Bartolo Coyotepec style)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Wear consistent with age \u0026amp; use, blemishes and imperfections will be present.
