bueton

Bueton refers to a type of small, typically handmade, decorative ceramic object. These items are often characterized by their rustic appearance and are frequently found in traditional folk art collections. Bueton can take various forms, including small animals, figurines, or abstract shapes, and are usually produced in limited quantities. The term itself does not denote a specific region or cultural origin, but rather a general classification of these artisanal ceramic pieces.

The creation of bueton typically involves simple pottery techniques, often done by individual craftspeople rather than large factories. The materials used are usually basic clay, and the glazes, if any, are often earthy or muted in tone, contributing to their characteristic handmade aesthetic. Due to their artisanal nature, bueton pieces can vary significantly in detail and finish, with slight imperfections often considered part of their charm. They are sometimes collected for their perceived authenticity and connection to traditional crafts. The exact definition can be fluid, but the core concept revolves around small, handcrafted ceramic embellishments.
