This wheel-thrown terracotta espresso cup and saucer is made in Jalisco, Mexico. Sized at 3 oz, it's built specifically for espresso: compact, intentional, and designed to make your daily ritual feel like something worth pausing for.
The raw, unglazed exterior keeps the natural texture and earthy warmth of the clay visible, while the food-safe glazed interior gives it a smooth, clean surface for daily use. The saucer is wheel-thrown to match, making each set a cohesive, considered pair.
Because every cup is made individually on the wheel, no two are identical. Slight variations in tone, texture, and form aren't flaws — they're what separates a handmade object from a manufactured one.
