Barro Negro Candle Lantern

Cast in the deep, velvety black of Oaxacan barro negro, this candle lantern turns any table into a soft pool of light. Its walls are hand-pierced in an intricate openwork pattern, so a single flame inside flickers out through the design and casts shadows across the room. Each piece is shaped and burnished by hand in San Bartolo Coyotepec, where the clay's signature shine comes entirely from artisan technique no glaze, no added color, just skill passed down through generations. Choose your pattern: stripes, flower, or diamonds. Use it with a tealight or pillar candle, or let it stand on its own as a sculptural accent. No two are exactly alike. Show more
