Chamba Black Clay Double-Handled Pot with Lid, 4 Quarts, Colombia
Handcrafted in La Chamba, Colombia, this traditional black clay cooking pot features a rounded body with pierced double handles and a fitted domed lid topped by a knob finial. Made from natural, unglazed clay and burnished to a smooth, deep black finish, Chamba cookware is renowned for its ability to heat evenly and retain warmth.
This vessel measures approximately 8 x 12 x 10 ½ inches (with handles and lid) and holds about 4 quarts (3.8 liters), making it ideal for preparing stews, soups, beans, and slow-cooked dishes.

A fine representation of Colombia’s celebrated artisan pottery tradition, rooted in centuries of pre-Columbian craftsmanship.
