Know before you buy
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor display. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the natural clay and the glazed finish.
No assembly is required. The piece arrives as a single, finished unit ready for tabletop placement.
Pastillaje is a traditional decorative technique where small pieces of clay are applied to the surface of the ceramic to create intricate, raised patterns and textures.
To maintain the glazed finish, gently dust the candelabra with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface.
Yes, because each piece is handcrafted by artisans in Michoacán, there may be slight variations in the clay texture and glaze application, making every candelabra unique.
