Black pottery

Black pottery is a traditional craft characterized by its glossy, dark-colored surface achieved through a specialized firing process. Skilled artisans shape clay into various forms, then heat it in a kiln with controlled oxygen levels, causing a chemical reaction that results in a smooth, black finish. This technique highlights the craftsmanship and often features intricate designs or patterns. Black pottery is valued for its aesthetic appeal, durability, and cultural significance, representing a rich heritage of ceramic artistry in regions like Mexico and India.
