For sale. To make a portuguese chesnut roaster, the potter first prepares the clay, a process that includes kneading the clay to remove bubbles and impurities and leave it with a smooth consistency. Next, the clay is shaped on the potter's wheel, using the hands to give the chesnut roaster the desired shape. After shaping the piece, it is left to dry slowly, before being placed in the kiln. The potter collects black clay from a local plot of land designated for the extraction of the material. For over a thousand years, shepherds and woodcutters have used bonfires to keep warm and roast chestnuts. In northern Portugal, between All Saints' Day (1 November) and St. Martin's Day, traditional magustos are held, festivals where roasted portuguese chestnuts are eaten and jeropiga (sweet wine), new wine or água-pé are drunk. In autumn, it is common to see chestnut sellers roasting them in iron or clay machines and selling them in paper cones, spreading a characteristic and irresistible aroma. The artisan actively continues to produce this piece. TEXT
