Los Tiestesitos - Shopping Barichara - Colombia

Shaped from the golden earth of this land by doña Alicia and her clan, these vessels come in all sizes and shapes, from the mundane to animal.

To fill that planter you just bought, check out Los Tiestesitos’ vivero, or greenhouse, for just the right flora.
