Product Properties
Tibetan Handmade Black Pottery — Wood‑Fired Footed Bowl
Product Story
High in the Nyenchen Tanglha mountains, village potters still rely on a thousand‑tap paddling technique to hard‑pack glacial clay. The wall rises into a gentle flare, then settles onto a solid foot ring that keeps hot stews from the table. Slow pine firing blankets the surface in a smoky graphite tone with random pewter flashes—each bowl carries the fingerprint of fire, wind and patient hands.
