Two barro negro tealight candle holders are handcrafted by Anakarem. She works in the time-honored black pottery tradition of Oaxaca, with techniques learned from her father. The fired clay is burnished to a sheen with a piece of quartz or obsidian and fired in a wood-burning kiln, which transforms the clay and gives it a lustrous black color. Each tealight candle holder is a three-legged plate with a domed decorative lid. Its flower motif cutouts that will provide lovely light patterns when you add your candle.
