Inspired by the ceremonial vessels unearthed at the archaeological site of Xochicalco, this collection reflects a timeless dialogue between ritual and design. Each piece is formed from Oaxaca’s iconic barro negro, a black clay unique to San Bartolo Coyotepec. With a heritage that spans over 2,500 years, barro negro has long been used to craft utilitarian and spiritual forms—its origins found in the very memory of the land.
Design
The bowls, with their bold, spiked profiles, balance strength and elegance, functioning as both serving vessels and sculptural objects. Through hand-modeling and bruñido (burnishing), the clay transforms into vessels that are both ancestral and contemporary—objects that carry the memory of earth and ceremony.
