When Doña Rosa, a ceramic artist from San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca, Mexico, developed the method for creating glossy black barro negro pottery in the 1950's, it quickly gained popularity among tourists and collectors. Today, it is one of the most sought-after styles of pottery in all of Mexico. Cut patterns vary among items; may be different than photo.
