This beautifully shaped La Chamba pot with handle can be used as a small serving piece or storage container. It is perfect for guacamole, pickles or jams, and at home I love using it to keep my freshly ground coffee.
And as a little added bonus ... it can go on the stove top to heat sauces or small portions.
Rosa Magnolia Salazar is the leading artisan of Punto y Arte, a small yet highly skilled workshop composed of 12 family members. They are part of the larger community of La Chamba, a town that is solely dedicated to, and subsists from the production of this ancient earthenware technique.
