The simple, powerful lines of these handcrafted vessels are based on the essential basic forms of African craftsmanship. This applies to their thick-walled bodies as well as the cross grooves highlighted by the play of shadows. They achieve their antique appearance through an oil-based glaze that is refined with lacquer after firing. Whether used as a plant pot or as a decorative solitaire, Sansibar adds a striking ethnocultural accent. The high-fired vessel is not waterproof due to material-specific sweating at the bottom. It is advisable to use an insert or a saucer for more delicate floors or surfaces to avoid moisture rings. Sansibar is not frost-resistant.
