Familia Chichipan

Tzintzuntzan Handmade Mermaid Ceramic Serving Platter

$120.00

Why We Love It
This handcrafted ceramic serving platter celebrates the Purépecha indigenous tradition of creating artistic and utilitarian pottery. Made exclusively for VOLVERde by award-winning ceramicists Familia Chichipan in Tzintzuntzan, Michoacán—where ceramic traditions have thrived for thousands of years along the shores of Lake Pátzcuaro.

The hand-drawn mermaid is surrounded by flowing waves and swirling water patterns, inspired by local folklore and the deep connection between the Purépecha community and the lake.

Crafted with all-natural pigments and lead-free glaze, the matte finish creates rich, earthy tones that are safe for daily use and make every platter truly one of a kind.
