SKU# 6109180

Smoky gold flowers, lustrous brown background, innovative shape. A beautiful heirloom floral Chulucanas vase from artisans of the Peruvian coast.

Hand burnished with rock and based on ancient cultural motifs, Chulucanas pottery is made by descendants of indigenous Peruvian artists. Modern artisans researched the negative-positive technique, developed more than 2,000 years ago. Its renewed use has evolved into a variety of shades from light to an almost black ocher. Artisans paint the designs with slip, a diluted clay mixture. The piece is fired with burning mango leaves, creating the dark color while the slip patterning remains light.
