Fire-blackened terracotta straight pot 8 cm

Key measurements for finding the right location:

• Diameter: 8 cm
• Height: 8 cm
• Weight: 0.26 kg

Everything you need to know about the material:

• Material: Unglazed terracotta, blackened by smoke firing
• Matte black, mass-dyed, from slate grey to charcoal depending on the area
• Porous clay, no documented water resistance or food contact
• Visible throwing lines inside, fine pitting outside
• Diameter 8 cm, height 8 cm, 0.26 kg
• Indoor use

A completely matte black is rare on a table, where everything else more or less shines: it reflects nothing and behaves like a hole in the light, which highlights what is placed next to it. It is an object of contrast, to be used in small numbers and not in series.

What you need to know for installation and maintenance:

• Empty and wipe rather than wash, soapy water soaks into the terracotta
• Quickly wipe with a damp cloth, then air dry completely
• Never soak or put in the dishwasher
• Do not use descaling products on unglazed terracotta
