Questions About Black Clay Pottery
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Black clay is called barro negro pottery. It is a form of pottery from Oaxaca, Mexico and is characterized by its color and unique patterns. The process was discovered by Doña Rosa in the 1950s, who added a polish to her pottery before firing it to obtain its matte black finish. Shop a collection of black clay pottery from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are a few ways to make pottery black, but the most popular way is through technique instead of the use of pigments or dyes. With a firing clay technique in the kiln the resulting product can come out a varying array of shades of black. Shop a selection of pottery on 1stDIbs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, the black clay pottery from Mexico is usually considered stoneware, not earthenware. While the two types of pottery seem similar, stoneware is fired at a much higher temperature than earthenware. You can find a large selection of black clay pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Mata Ortiz black pottery is a type of pottery made in the style of Mogollon earthenware found at an archeological dig site in Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico. It typically shows off geometric patterns and stylized animals in dark black and brown hues. Shop a range of Mata Ortiz black pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    The difference between black-figure and red-figure Greek pottery is that in black-figure pottery, figural and ornamental motifs were applied with a slip that turned black during firing and the background was color of the clay, whereas the decorative motifs on red-figure vases remained the color of the clay; the background, filled in with a slip, turned black. Red-figure is essentially the reverse of a black figure. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and antique Greek pottery.
