These traditional pottery is handmade in South Africa, by Zulu artisans, women or men. They are mainly used for the fermentation, storage and consumption of the local beer, utshwala, made with sorghum or millet, which is very nutritious and has a fairly low alcohol content. They have specific names according to their size and use. They are made with clay according to the ancient Columbian technique. Cooking takes place in an open fire. The black patina is given by the smoke of a mixture of charcoal and cow dung. Each copy thus acquires a unique patina. These terracotta tiles are very slightly porous.
