Traditional salamanca
by
This is a fine example of traditional pottery style that has survived since the times of the Inka civilization. It features traditional Inka patterns, as well as the more modern figures of the "Las Chismosas" or "The Chatting Women". A puma, frequently used in Inka iconography, decorates the handle.
Salamancas are used to serve liquids. The liquid is put from the opening at the bottom. When the pot is turned upright again, the liquid does not drop, and it can be served by the puma-shaped opening in the front side.
This salamanca comes in 3 different sizes:
- Small: 20 cm height, 9cm diameter
- Medium: 22 cm height, 10 cm diameter
- Large: 27 cm height, 12 cm diameter
It is also available with natural clay or ecru/light beige as its background color.

We bought the large variant of this salamanca vase earlier this year. The vase is exactly as pictured. It looks very nice with vivid colors and it fits nicely into the living room. The quality and finish of the product is very good and it certainly exceeds the expectations from the price. It arrived from Peru to Europe within three weeks and it was safely packaged and delivered. I would recommend this product or the services of ya-market to anyone interested in Peruvian art.
