This pottery nativity is a unique addition to your home at Christmas or year-round... a to-be-treasured, fitting gift for anyone on your list! Each handmade southwest Nativity is made with a red, high fire clay. Using the potter’s wheel I first throw a miniature pot, then divide in half and add a tiny hand-constructed Holy Family. This all-in-one piece, supported with high-fire wire internally, is then partially glazed with a rich turquoise, leaving some of the pot un-glazed to accent the rich terra cotta red.
Part of the beauty of hand made work is that each piece truly is one-of-a-kind. I do not use molds, but weigh the clay prior to throwing to help ensure like sizes. Expect slight variances in exact shape & size from photo. Piece measures approximately 4” tall x 4” wide x 2.5” deep.
