Questions About Black Clay Pottery
  • 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
    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 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.
