This triangular barro pencil holder is handcrafted by artisan Anakarem of Oaxaca, who works as a team with his father. Barro literally translated as "black mud," is a type of pottery from clay only found in Oaxaca, Mexico, and crafted using traditional methods. The black colour comes from the clay itself, enhanced during the firing process. This pencil holder has two quarter flowers on a diagonal on each side made through a combination of embossing and decorative cutouts.
I bought 4 of these ceramic pen holders. They are beautifully made and are quite elegant!. Slim. Montgomery, AL. Thu Dec 21 2023
