Signed Chulucanas Vase - 14.25" Brown & Beige Overview

Classic Chulucanas pottery was usually done in black and white but in recent years potters have begun to experiment with new shapes and techniques, as in this vase. After shaping, the vase was painted and fired. Some of the paint burned off in the firing, producing the mottled effect. The painted sections were then covered with a protective coating mixture of ash and sand and the piece was smoked in a kiln filled with mango leaves. The smoke and resin from the leaves rendered the exposed areas of the clay black and the ash mixture was removed, exposing the painted design beneath.Chulucanas pottery is waxed and buffed. The wax covering not only protects it but makes it highly water-resistant. However, most Chulucanas pieces are not lined and are intended to be decorative rather than functional. They may be cleaned with a damp cloth and if their sheen becomes dull may be waxed and polished again.
