What Artesanías Mexicanas (barro negro online/retail) is known for

This shop sells black clay pottery from San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca, a technique perfected by Zapotec hands over generations, alongside ceramic figurines, vases and decorative skulls. It credits Doña Rosa with revolutionizing the craft in the 1950s by polishing pieces with quartz stone before firing them at lower temperatures for a brilliant black finish.
