Altar Handcrafted Clay Vase

The Altar vase is a P A L O S A N T O original design, conceived as a tribute to ancestral forms once used in ritual and offering. Each vessel is formed entirely by hand — one at a time and without a mold — by women artisans in Oaxaca, using ancestral techniques passed down through generations.

Once shaped, it is fired in the traditional open flame, where clay meets smoke and heat to reveal its distinct finish. Subtle variations in color and texture emerge through this elemental process — a quiet reflection of patience, rhythm, and connection to the earth.

Shaped by both hand and nature, each piece is truly one of a kind. Please note that coloration, finishes, and dimensions may vary.
