Pochote Vase | Large

The Enriquez Family are multi-generational potters working in Santa María Atzompa, a village shaped by centuries of ceramic tradition dating back to the ancient Zapotec civilization. Two sisters and a brother continue the craft they learned from their parents and grandparents, forming each piece by hand from rich local clay they dig themselves. Their workshop remains small and deeply rooted in family life, where pottery is shaped slowly through practiced hands and shared memory.

Each piece is fired in a handmade, wood-fed open kiln that has stood on their property for decades. Without molds or mechanical intervention, no two forms are ever identical. The subtle marks of fire, ash, and earth give their work its quiet character, shaped as much by nature as by human hands.
