Kafetri mug - ceramic mug, handmade

Ceramic mug handmade by Mexican artisans. The hand-crafting of the form makes the vessel unique. The design motifs allude to floral symbolism, which is extremely characteristic of the products created in Talavera. The patterns are convex thanks to the application of many layers of colour. The mug is glazed so that it is safe for daily use and the patterns will not rub off or fade. The Mexican mug can be washed in the dishwasher. The optimally shaped handle makes the mug fit perfectly in the hand, it does not tilt to the sides, and in the case of a hot drink, there is no danger of scalding the hand. In addition to its functional qualities, the ceramic mug will also prove useful as a decoration in your kitchen, which nobody will be able to pass by indifferently. Intense colours and unusual patterns will provide an excellent variety among classic, single-colour dishes.

Talavera style

The production of ceramics using the Talavera method is a method brought to Mexico by the Spanish in the early 16th century. The colours previously used by the Maya and Aztecs were harmoniously transferred to the new technique and were fully successful. The ornamentation used in Talavera refers to floral symbolism and is characterised by patterns of flowers, leaves, buds and stems. In addition to figurines, Talavera's very popular products are the single-colour tiles or patchworks used in interior decoration. Talavera ceramics are becoming increasingly popular in Europe. It is also increasingly becoming a decorative element in newly designed interiors.
