The black Cocucha is splashed with a corn meal solution immediately after firing and while still very hot. Variegated earth tones are burnt into the surface. Color varies from golden bronze to near black, depending on the material applied, the application technique, and the temperature of the piece at the moment it is applied. Fire flash markings from the firing are also apparent. There are no other glazes of coloring agents.

Cocuchas come in many different forms, sizes and finishes. The shoulder can be less accentuated or more accentuated, the neck longer or shorter, the proportion of the lip to the body larger or smaller, the mouth larger or smaller. When an order is placed, you receive photos of the various options currently available for your approval.
