Handmade Horsehair Pottery

Experience the extraordinary artistry of Handmade Horsehair Pottery, where tradition, craftsmanship, and equine inspiration come together. Each one-of-a-kind vessel is created using the dramatic horsehair reduction technique: the pottery is fired to 1500–1600 degrees, removed from the kiln, and touched with strands of horsehair that carbonize on contact—forming bold, organic black patterns against a luminous white surface. Burnished with terra sigillata for a smooth, stone-like finish and sealed to enhance its natural beauty, each piece becomes a unique work of art.

This pottery is handmade in San Antonio, Texas by artisan John Nelson, making it a meaningful addition to any equestrian home or art collection.
