Nicaraguan handmade pottery, flower ware [tiles] the first choice for souvenir gifts

To make pottery in the small town of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua, craftsmen collect natural red mud near the volcano and trample the red mud with their feet for several hours to shrink the holes in the soil and make the soil softer. Then use a foot-operated pottery wheel, kick the wheel quickly with your feet, and generate kinetic energy while shaping the clay with your hands. During the process, you need to use your hands and feet together, and maintain speed and balance skillfully. The shaped pottery pot will be dried first, polished with stones, and then painted with natural pigments or carved with a sharp knife. It usually takes several hours to paint, then coated with glaze, and finally finished in a brick kiln. Fired at low temperature. <About Nicaraguan Pottery> Origin｜San Juan de Oriente, a city in central Nicaragua Production method｜Broken by hand Ingredients｜100% clay and colored materials Dimensions｜About 30cm high and 14cm wide <Reminder> Nicaraguan pottery is all handmade and fired, and each style is unique and there is only one.
