Sustainability
The Cantaritos Clay Cup - 4 Pack by Verve Culture is a beautiful example of sustainable craftsmanship. Each cup is handmade from natural clay by skilled artisans in Jalisco, Mexico, following traditional methods passed down through generations. Unlike plastic or mass-produced drinkware, these clay cups are crafted using local materials with minimal environmental impact.
The lead-free glaze ensures they are safe for everyday use, while their durability, when properly cared for, allows them to be reused time and time again—reducing the need for disposable alternatives. By choosing these handcrafted cups, you are supporting sustainable artistry and preserving cultural heritage.
How They Are Made
The cups are made out of clay and we have finished our cups with a special led-free glaze to reinforce them. The maker, Rodolfo, and his team shape each cup on a manual turntable. Since he was a boy, Rodolfo has been creating Mexican ceramics with the help of his father, who taught him traditional shapes, painting, glazes, and finishes. He studied at the cultural school at El Refugio in Tlaquepaque.
