This 'botellón' vase features a classic shape crafted in La Chamba's distinctive style, a traditional Colombian earthenware known for its striking, deep matte black finish. Perfect for a monstera leaf or a beautiful rose bundle.
Subtle tone variations are part of the imperfect beauty of the chamba earthenware.
