Handcrafted in the lakeside village of San Antonio Palopó, this white mug is a functional work of art. Each piece is meticulously hand-painted by local artisans using techniques inspired by the legendary ceramicist Ken Edwards, ensuring that no two mugs are exactly alike.
The hand-painted "San Antonio" design often features intricate blue and earthy-toned motifs, such as teardrops or floral patterns, inspired by indigenous Tz'utujil Mayan culture. Because they are hand-painted, slight variations in the pattern and color are a hallmark of their authentic, handmade nature.
Typically holds 12 oz, making it versatile enough for a cold craft beer, morning coffee, or tea.
Measures 3.5"H x 3" D. Finished with a lead-free, non-toxic glaze for worry-free everyday use.
