Rostros de la Tierra ~ earthenware ceramic mezcalita cup ~ made in oaxaca

These one-of-a-kind ceramic mezcalita cups are hand-sculpted just outside Oaxaca City, Mexico. Each piece is shaped from locally sourced clay and carved with a distinct face, giving it a personality all its own. The warm, natural finish highlights the subtle tool marks and gentle variations that speak to the artist’s hand. Perfect as a functional drinking vessel, a small planter, mezcalita shot glass, or a decorative art object, these cups bring a touch of Oaxaca’s rich craft tradition into any space. No two cups are alike, so expect variation in surface design, and small elements like mica shining through. Every cup has tiny imperfections that make them unique, rustic, and authentically Oaxaca.  Care: hand wash only, dry after use. extended periods of keeping liquids in these cups will alter the finish of the piece over time if water is kept inside of them for multiple days. these are wild clay pieces and they will change & evolve as you do ~ they can hold water/coffee/tea/liquor.
