Colombian black pottery is produced using ancestral and inherited traditions. Having stood the test of time over 700 years of Precolombian and Pre-Hispanic cookery, it remains practically unchanged, yet even now successful and durable. It is cadmium and lead free, safe to cook and serve all types of food and kitchen preparations.

Black pottery adds character to any meal. A striking black glaze form the perfect canvas for exotic cuisine. Create a lasting impression with your guests with a beautiful set table that incorporates this hand made pieces.

All the cookware is moulded into shape by hand, by women, helped by their family  who collect and prepare the clay. A finer layer of clay is then applied as a glaze. After an initial aeration stage it is left to fully dry in the sun. The beautiful black sheen is achieved by intricate burnishing of the clay before it is fired in large earth kilns “Arabic domes”. Towards the end of firing a mix of dried herbs and grasses is added, which burns quickly and enhances the distinctive black colour of the pots.
