    • What To Buy: Typical black pottery of Bisalhães.
    The black color is obtained by placing the items in a ground oven covered with green pine tree branchs, which is then set on fire and covered with mud so that no fumes are rekleased.
    There are various shapes, sizes and patterns.
    Usually the shopkeepers show the first steps of production on site.

     I've heard so much about Basalhaes pottery I would want to see it made and buy some. They look so exquisite and unique and ancient. Are they expensive Helio?    		ChristinaNest Wed Nov 22, 2006 18:18 UTC
