Doña Rosa Vase Oaxaca Folk Art Black Pottery Blackware Early Work 9" Ruffled

This is a large handcrafted black clay vase featuring a classic bulbous body, single handle, and a gracefully ruffled rim. The clay itself is naturally black, and the piece has been polished to achieve a glossy, lustrous finish. Its depressed base reflects traditional craftsmanship, providing stability and authenticity. Originating from the Oaxaca region of Mexico, this piece embodies the timeless beauty and cultural heritage of barro negro pottery. Given the style, craftsmanship, and patina, it’s likely from the mid-20th century.
