These delicate handcrafted South African pots have been hand coiled from clay, burnished and fired in an open pit in the veld. In the Zulu tradition, these pots are often used for brewing, cooking meat, storing water, grain and for drinking sour milk and brewing sorghum beer. Unique patterns of raised bumps known as amasumpa are commonly used as a decorative technique. The Zulu clay pots have moved from traditional usage to becoming handcrafted collectibles.

Please note that many of our handmade items are one of a kind, perfectly imperfect, vintage and have indigenous decorative repair work which we believe adds to the intrinsic value and beauty of the items. No two items are exactly the same.
