Oaxacan Green Glazed Tripod Vessel No. 1

Oaxacan Verde Tripod Vessel
Tierra Collection

A true statement of Oaxacan craftsmanship, the Verde Tripod Vessel is both art and artifact — a handmade piece that captures the expressive spirit of Mexican claywork. Formed from local barro and finished in a deep, natural green glaze, its crown-like rim and elevated tripod base give it a sense of regality and ancient symbolism.

Each vessel is hand-sculpted in the traditional workshops of Santa María Atzompa, where artisans have perfected the barro verde technique for centuries. The intricate detailing — from raised patterns to organic motifs — is created by hand before being fired in open-air kilns, resulting in rich tonal variations that make each piece one of a kind.

Its bold silhouette makes it a captivating standalone sculpture, yet it can also be used as a vessel for dried stems or candles. The Verde Tripod Vessel stands as a modern homage to Oaxaca’s heritage — earthy, symbolic, and beautifully imperfect.
