I suspect these are examples of the famous black pottery made in Oaxaca Mexico. Beads are common. The large size is a little unusual, but there are lots of variations since the work comes from many artisans. The metallic surface is also typical, and the sheen is due to hand burnishing, not glaze. Sometimes black shoe polish also enhances the surface.
