SKU# 6913140

Hand-formed by women potters of Lombok, Indonesia, this piece is low fired over a wood fire and packed in straw. Because of this, the pottery is fragile, but with careful handling will last for years. Before firing, the pots are burnished with a mixture of fine clay, water and oil, then rubbed with a smooth stone or hard object. This compacts and strengthens the pot’s surface, and creates a sheen that enhances the colors and marks created by firing. Patterning on the jar is etched by hand.
