Santa Clara Pueblo, located in northern New Mexico, is renowned for its traditional blackware pottery (often called black-on-black or polished black pottery). This style features a deep, glossy black finish achieved through specific clay preparation, hand-coiling, burnishing with stones, and reduction firing (smothering the fire to limit oxygen and produce the black color from carbon).
