In the hills outside Oaxaca, potters shape this deep black clay by hand, burnishing each surface to a soft sheen before firing it in earthen kilns that give barro negro its signature color. No glaze, no shortcuts — just clay, water, and generations of technique passed through families in San Bartolo Coyotepec.

This mug is finished with a hand-carved floral motif, etched into the clay before it's fired, so every line and petal is the potter's own. Fill it with your morning cup of coffee or tea and embrace the love that is poured into making each piece by hand — the carving does the talking.

Approximate size: 4.5"w x 3.5"h without handle - each piece is unique
