Pit firing is the first method that humans used to fire pottery almost 30,000 years ago.

It was considered a great milestone in the development of civilization – in part because people were tired of drinking their wine out of wooden buckets.

Revisiting my first pit firing!

With such an interesting story behind these pieces, and their ethereal smokey qualities with small splashes of textures and depth, pit-fired pottery makes a welcome gift for someone who likes unique and eclectic one of a kind pieces that are worth beholding. (Perhaps you!)

Check out our selection of pit fired pieces here.

Looking forward to sending a pit-fired vase to it’s new home!
