This coffee cup is handcrafted in Tonalá, Jalisco — one of Mexico's most celebrated centers of ceramic production — using burnished clay and natural pigments. The technique is traditional: the clay is shaped by hand, burnished to a smooth matte surface, then sealed with beeswax for natural water-resistance. No glaze, no kiln coating. Just clay, pigment, and beeswax, the way it's been done in this region for centuries.

Lead-free, cadmium-free, and made to be used daily.
