Ónix Cups
These artisan mezcal copitas are made from the black clay of San Bartolo Coyotepec, Mexico. The ideal vessel for tasting mezcal is one with a wide mouth, which allows the spirit to "open up" and release its full flavour potential.
Barro Negro (black clay) of Oaxaca comes from the village of San Bartolo Coyotepec. Traditionally, the clay is molded by hand or on a potter’s wheel. After it is shaped, the pieces are set to dry for up to three weeks. If the intention of the artist is to obtain a sheen finish, the piece is then polished when it’s almost dry. The surface of the piece is lightly moistened and then rubbed with a curved quartz stone. This compacts the surface of the clay and creates a metallic sheen and dark colour during firing.
Sold as a pair.
