Handmade in Oaxaca, a state rich in pre-hispanic pottery tradition, the smooth tactile finish is one of the most beautiful textures for clay. The workshop takes the natural clay and cleans it by filtering it for 20 days. The clay is then burnished rather than glazed, by polishing the surface with a quartz crystal until it has a glossy finish with a warm glow. The pieces are then fired in underground pits or kilns, using a wood fire.

These cups are a special gift for your morning espresso, adding a beautiful shine to your coffee. Perfect for a double espresso or macchiato, or you can use them to keep spices, salt flakes or chili, or small dips at a dinner table.

Dimensions:
9cm diameter
6cm high

The cup is burnished to create a beautiful shine and waterproof, food safe finish. Hand wash with hot water, organic soap and a sponge.
Due to the item’s individual production, there may be small variations from piece to piece.

When death has permission

In prehispanic cultures – just as in various other civilizations all around the world – the dead were buried surrounded by the objects they most treasured in life, so those objects could help them on their way to “the other side”.

“When I die, I don’t want to go to heaven, I want to go home.” (Victor Carrasco, writer and collector of beautiful objects and anecdotes)

Objects represent history, anecdotes and personal experiences. They give form and spirit to our homes, that with time becomes our personal paradise, where we want to live and die. Death cannot be detained but by filling our lives with history and meaning, we can accept it and give death permission to come and take us with all our beautiful memories.

The use of the asterisk refers to its main use in literature to indicate the call to a footnote, that is, to indicate that there is a reference beyond what is being read or seen, we use it to inform that the object has a story behind it, a concept, a design and an execution that give a unique personality to each of the pieces we select, as well as an easily memorable icon for people who do not speak Spanish.
