Earthen pots are often black due to the presence of carbon deposits that form during the firing process in traditional kilns. When the pots are covered with organic materials, such as leaves or straw, during firing, the smoke creates a reduction atmosphere, leading to the formation of blackened surfaces. Additionally, certain clay types naturally produce darker colors when fired. This blackening can also enhance the pot's aesthetic appeal and functionality, as it can help with heat retention.
