Café San Antonio Palopo Mug
Perched on the steep, volcanic shores of Lake Atitlán lies the vibrant town of San Antonio Palopó. Here, time-honored traditions blend seamlessly with everyday life, and the rich, volcanic clay beneath the earth serves as the foundation for an incredible artistic legacy.
This handcrafted ceramic mug is born from this very soil. Meticulously shaped from local volcanic clay, it features the collection's signature floral teardrop motif rendered in a warm, grounded palette. Set against a rich, earthy café background, the mesmerizing, peacock-like pattern comes alive with layers of sky blue, soft sage green, deep indigo dots, and a striking terracotta center.
Mastered by artisans trained in the legendary Ken Edwards ceramic tradition, every single brushstroke is an expression of the maker’s heritage. Because each mug is individually painted, the subtle variations in color and pattern ensure that your cup is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind work of art.
While these mugs carry the soul of a small Guatemalan village, they are built to be a cherished part of your daily ritual. Their uniquely contoured, bulbous shape is designed to fit comfortably in your hands, radiating the warmth of your favorite morning coffee, tea, or cocoa.
Bring the warmth of Guatemalan tradition to your kitchen. Shop our San Antonio Collection to mix and match a hand-selected set that connects your morning routine to the heart of Lake Atitlán.
