Your purchase gets you a one-of-a-kind piece but also supports artisans and their families, helping them make a living and preserve the artisanal tradition, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

The Espicio family continue the Purépecha tradition of barro bruñido (burnished clay) in Huancito, Michoacán, where pottery is both art and everyday life. From digging local clay to hand-painting fine lines and polishing each piece with a smooth stone, their process reflects generations of care and technique. 

• Cure before use: Submerge the piece completely in water for 20 minutes to allow the clay to absorb moisture and seal naturally. After soaking, rinse well multiple times until water comes out clear.
• Clean: Rinse occasionally with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives to preserve the natural clay finish.
• Dry: Let the dish air dry completely before storing. This keeps the clay strong and prevents moisture buildup.
• Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure: Barro is a natural, porous material — while durable, it’s best not to leave it soaking in water in the sink for long periods.
• Handle with Care: Each piece is handmade and unique.

Do Put in the Dishwasher!
