Know before you buy
Yes, these mugs are high-fired for durability and are designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use, including standard dishwasher and microwave cycles.
No, each piece is hand-molded by artisans in Peru, meaning there will be subtle variations in shape, texture, and glaze finish. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the traditional craftsmanship behind the collection.
The artisans use fine-quality, locally sourced clays that are shaped and fired using traditional techniques. This slow, 15-day production process results in a denser, more resilient ceramic compared to typical factory-molded dinnerware.
Because they are hand-molded, these mugs typically have a more substantial, organic feel in the hand. They are crafted to be sturdy and comfortable for daily coffee or tea rituals.
The mugs are high-fired to ensure a strong, durable surface. While they are built for longevity, they should be handled with the same care as any high-quality ceramic to maintain the integrity of the glaze.
