Description

This unique ceramic Tequila Shot Cup (Tequilero) is a charming piece of functional folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala, and is sold individually. The small cup features a slightly tapered, sturdy silhouette and is available in two distinct artisanal designs: one (the “bird” pattern) showcases a detailed hummingbird and floral scene against a clean white base with terracotta accents, while the other (the liso or “plain” pattern) is entirely covered in the region’s signature high-contrast, rhythmic teardrop motifs in shades of cobalt blue, aqua, and green. Both variations are finished with a bold dark blue rim, beautifully showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and vibrant aesthetic characteristic of the Lake Atitlán region.
