Corazón de Barro – Heart Clay Mug from Atzompa

Corazón de Barro – Handmade Burnt Clay Mug from Atzompa

This one-of-a-kind mug is handcrafted by Ana María Martínez in Santa María Atzompa using barro quemado (burnt clay) and traditional Zapotec shaping techniques. Its unique heart-formed rim and braided handle symbolize connection, making each mug a soulful vessel for coffee, tea, or cacao.

Fired over open flame, the surface features rich black tones and earthy texture—unmistakable signs of its origin and technique. Whether as a meaningful gift or personal treasure, Corazón de Barro is more than a mug—it’s heritage in your hands.

• Variation Notice

  
  

  Because each mug is fired individually using traditional open-flame techniques, natural variations in color, tone, and surface markings will occur.

  No two pieces will look exactly the same, and the mug you receive may differ slightly from the one shown. These variations are a natural part of the process and a reflection of the handmade nature of each piece.
