Candelero Lucina
Candelero Lucina
Origin: Santa Maria Atzompa, Oaxaca by the Blanco family collective comprised of Emmanuel, Beatrice, Lucina, and Noemi Blanco.
Material: Made out of black and white clay found in and around Atzompa.
Technique: Each piece is hand built and shaped. Each plate is hand-built and shaped. All flowers and leaves are hand rolled and "embroidered" onto the piece. This method is what gives name to the technique known as "bordado"
Color: The red color of the body is attained by "bathing" the piece with a fine red clay mix. The color is clay, not paint. The light color is the clay's natural color once cooked.
Dimensions:
- 3 in H X 12 in W
Care: Wash and dry completely before first use and before storing.
