About La Chamba

La Chamba is traditional black pottery from South America. It’s produced in Tolima using techniques passed down through generations. The clay used to make Chamba pottery is only found in this area of central Colombia.

The pots are dried outside, then fired in small ovens. Finally, they are smoked to give them a matte black finish. Today, La Chamba pottery has a mix of Spanish and indigenous influences. Crafted by hand, each pot is a unique addition to your cookware collection.
