Handcrafted in the lakeside village of San Antonio Palopó, this
white Guatemalan beer mug
is a functional work of art. Each piece is meticulously hand-painted by local artisans using techniques inspired by the legendary ceramicist Ken Edwards, ensuring that no two mugs are exactly alike.

Design & Craftsmanship
  • Artisanal Heritage: These mugs are crafted from high-quality volcanic clay sourced from the riverbeds near Lake Atitlán.
  • San Antonio Pattern: The hand-painted "San Antonio" design often features intricate blue and earthy-toned motifs, such as teardrops or floral patterns, inspired by indigenous Tz'utujil Mayan culture. Shop our San Antonio Collection. 
  • Individuality: Because they are hand-painted, slight variations in the pattern and color are a hallmark of their authentic, handmade nature.

Performance & Durability
  • Capacity: Mug measures 3.5" H x 3" D. Typically holds 12 oz, making it versatile enough for a cold craft beer, morning coffee, or tea.
  • Daily Convenience: High-firing processes ensure the ceramic is microwave and dishwasher safe.
  • Safety First: Finished with a lead-free, non-toxic glaze for worry-free everyday use.

Impactful Purchase
  • Fair Trade: Buying these ceramics directly supports fair trade principles, helping to provide sustainable livelihoods and education for artisan families in the Sololá region.
