Caracteristics:
Portugal can be seen from north to south in its pottery. It is more than an art in Portugal, or even a souvenir – it captures the nation’s soul in clay. The Black Pottery of the Centro is focused on Vila Nova de Poiares, near Coimbra. Here ceramics are still manufactured in an ancient process that makes the pottery the color of black clay. This art is based on the obstruction of the pottery as it is fired and made rich with carbon. The carbon covers the pottery and oxidizes the clay in the firing pits called “Soengas”. These black shiny clays are soft to touch and when finished, have a perfect and beautiful look. Basic, rich, and great for cooking, you can’t have a good Chanfana (regional dish) with out a black pot, but that is another story…
