I’ve had a crush on La Chamba cookware for quite a while. Wouldn’t they look stunning on a rough-hewn farm table? They take direct heat (gas flame only) and go from oven to table.
Made in Columbian, the shapes are hand molded rather than thrown on a pottery wheel. The pots are red to begin with, turning black via an intense firing process called “smoking.” The slight sheen is not a glaze. The finish is achieved by burnishing the clay with agates and semi-precious stones before firing. Read more about the process here. You can buy La Chamba here, here, and here.
