Hand Coiled Large Blackware Olla and Undecorated with Stone Polished Surface

In Very Good Condition

An Olla is a traditional large water or storage jar, typically globular or wide-bodied with a narrower neck or opening. Santa Clara blackware ollas are coil-built from local clay, smoothed, and often burnished to a high sheen using stones before firing. The deep black color results from a "reduction firing" process: the pots are fired in a smothered kiln (low oxygen) with organic materials like dung or wood, which carbonizes the surface.
