Black clay of Molelos

Cultural

ceramics

Potter's wheel and finishing tools.

Molelos, Tondela, Portugal

The potter collects black clay from a local plot of land designated for the extraction of the material.

To make a bowl, 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 bowl the desired shape. After shaping the piece, it is left to dry slowly before being placed in the kiln.

The use of black clay bowls to serve "caldo verde" is a traditional and popular choice.

For sale.

The artisan actively continues to produce this piece.

The use of black clay bowls to serve caldo verde is a traditional and valued choice, as black clay, which gives the crockery a rustic and authentic look, is associated with everyday items in Portugal, conveying a sense of connection to the land and the cultural heritage of traditional Portuguese cuisine.
