Bucchero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bucchero [ˈbukkero] (via ital. from port. bucáro – “odorous clay”) is a type of black pottery typical for the Etruscan civilization during the 1st millenium BC.
Firing method turned the clay black, and the surfae was shiny and metallic-looking because it was carefully polished before firing.
