Questions About Oaxaca Black Pottery
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are a few ways to make pottery black, but the most popular way is through technique instead of the use of pigments or dyes. With a firing clay technique in the kiln the resulting product can come out a varying array of shades of black. Shop a selection of pottery on 1stDIbs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Mata Ortiz black pottery is a type of pottery made in the style of Mogollon earthenware found at an archeological dig site in Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    The difference between black-figure and red-figure Greek pottery is that in black-figure pottery, figural and ornamental motifs were applied with a slip that turned black during firing and the background was color of the clay, whereas the decorative motifs on red-figure vases remained the color of the clay; the background, filled in with a slip, turned black. Red-figure is essentially the reverse of a black figure. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and antique Greek pottery.
