Know before you buy
While these cups are designed for enjoying spirits like mezcal, please note that they are not lead-free. They are intended as artisanal barware rather than everyday drinkware.
To preserve the integrity of the clay and the unique glaze, you must hand wash this cup. It is not dishwasher safe, and using a dishwasher may damage the finish.
No. Because each piece is individually handcrafted on a lathe and fired in a kiln, there will be natural variations in the clay and earth tones. Each cup is unique, so expect slight differences in appearance.
No, this cup is not microwave safe. The natural clay material is not designed to withstand high-heat cycles in a microwave.
The cup stands 2.0 inches tall, making it perfectly sized for a standard pour of mezcal or other spirits.
