Pottery-bali Indonesia's
This is a close-up of how a black-husk finish looks like. A blend of black color and brown results in an antique-look color finishes. Again, without neccessarily be decorated with any ornamental patterns, these simple-but-beautiful style of vases will fit into any color of your home interior. Simply a superb home accent pottery.
This blend of black and brown color is created completely by nature, a result of natural chemistry among the clay, the paddy husk, and the heat from firing. Truly a traditional method of finishing the pottery in villages in Indonesia.
This is the same method traditional pottery makers use in making water jugs and food containers. You can't simply compare them with pottery which has acrylic paint finishing. Their value is definitely much higher than ordinary painted pottery vases. And to further protect the finishing, we apply water repellant matt coating materials on top of this black-husk finishes; it helps making the finish last longer.
This finishes can be applied to all tamarind pottery vases.
