Know before you buy
No, these mugs are not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing them to preserve the integrity of the terracotta clay and the semigloss glaze.
Because each mug is handcrafted in Mexico from locally-sourced clay, you should expect subtle variations in color and texture. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and mean no two pieces are identical.
Each Lucero mug has a capacity of 15.2 fluid ounces, making them well-suited for a generous serving of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa.
The exterior features a natural, porous terracotta finish that provides a tactile, earthy grip. In contrast, the interior is finished with a smooth semigloss glaze, which makes it easy to clean and pleasant to drink from.
Yes, the Lucero Mugs are produced under fair trade standards. This ensures that the artisans in Mexico are treated fairly and work in safe conditions.
