Nakú Black Clay Pitcher
Description
Experience centuries of Oaxacan barro negro pottery tradition with the NAKÚ Collection. Each piece balances light and shadow with a raw, unglazed onyx exterior and a contrasting glazed interior. Handcrafted from locally sourced Oaxacan black clay, these vessels bring sculptural elegance to everyday rituals.
Shaped by both hand and nature, each piece is truly one of a kind. Please note that coloration, finishes, and dimensions may vary.

We are proud to partner with a family-owned, small batch taller (studio) in Oaxaca, Mexico. The tradition of barro (clay) in this community dates back over 2,000 years.
Led by five sisters and one brother, the family is dedicated to the preservation of their heritage while integrating innovative, eco-friendly technologies and sustainable design. In lieu of a wood-fired kiln, they utilize one fueled by alternative energy sources. The kiln uses recycled cooking oil from local restaurants as fuel in order to reduce their environmental impact.
