Olla
A small olla (round vessel) from Ojite Cuauhetemoc. The texture on the pot is traditional from the region, and is created by finishing the piece with an olote (a corn cob from which the grains have been removed). This piece has been fired in the open air (not in a kiln) and has beautiful fire licks from this process. An olla is a traditional ceramic jar, often unglazed, primarily used for cooking stews and soups or storing dry foods. Olla’s have short wide necks and wide bellies, and this one features a raw, textural finish.
This piece has been sourced exclusively for Mantel in collaboration with Terra Mexico.
Height: 14cm
This is an artisan made item and bears marks of the makers hand and unique handcrafted process. Any marks, cracks or fire licks on the surface of the pot are inherent to this process and not a fault.
