Altar Handcrafted Clay Vase

A P A L O S A N T O original design. The Altar vase was conceived as a tribute to ancestral forms once used in ritual and offering. Each vessel is formed entirely by hand — one at a time and without a mold — by women artisans in Oaxaca, using ancestral techniques passed down through generations. Once shaped, it is fired in the traditional open flame, where clay meets smoke and heat to reveal its distinct finish. Subtle variations in color and texture emerge through this elemental process — a quiet reflection of patience, rhythm, and connection to the earth. Dimensions: 14” diameter x 6.5” wide x 10” tall Material: 100% natural Oaxacan clay   Shaped by both hand and nature, each piece is truly one of a kind. Please note that coloration, finishes, and dimensions may vary. About PALO SANTO PALO SANTO is a women-led, binational design studio rooted in Arizona and Mexico.
