Pottery of Buno 
 

Buno's pottery represents European functionality together with the galician touch for fine arts. It is the result of a tradition which goes back to Neolithic times: first craftworks in this area were made 6000 years ago. Traditionally, Buno's pottery is made for solving problems: keeping water fresher, cooking, making spirits, drinking water in a healthier way , etc. 
 
 

This century has seen a new way of understanding pottery. Younger  potters, especially women, do not doubt to mix ancient Galician shapes with tribal native-american and african ones. African shapes were seen by Bunos potters in countries like Cuba and Brasil. South-America in general has had the presence of Bunos' potters working from Mexico to Argentina. 

Northern african culture has always been known in South Europe. Asiatic ceramics have arrived to Galicia coming from Portugal and Spanish influence areas such as Macau or Filipinas. This new kind of pottery  is one of the most "universal" and "cultural-mixed" ceramics ever made in the planet. 

 
Buno's ceramic web presents all these ways of understanding what's going on with one of the most active ceramic villages in the world. The web has promotional purposes only. A restricted area has been created for re-sellers and art galleries with some of the best work. An especial catalogue is available on-request for wholesalers interested in  functional pottery.
