Barro Amarillo Miniature Cantarito with Handle

This beautifully hand crafted cantarito is made in Tamazulapam del Espíritu Santo in the Sierra Mixe region of Oaxaca. The handle is made of maguey fibers that come from mezcal production. Artisan women have been sculpting and firing this beautiful earthenware since pre-colonial times. We have smaller sizes of this barro currently at the shop, but most impressive is the scale they work in to create these kitchen and decorative tools. We are happy to share the characteristic shade of the Mixe technique with you.
