Description

This striking ceramic Aporto Cup (Vaso aporto) is a unique piece of functional folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by skilled artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala. Designed without a handle for a modern, sleek silhouette, this cup offers a choice between two signature artisanal styles: the “bird” design features a detailed hummingbird amidst lush, stylized flowers and foliage on a white base, while the “plain” (liso) version is adorned with rhythmic, high-contrast teardrop motifs in the region’s traditional palette of cobalt blue and terracotta. Finished with a bold, colorful rim, these durable cups beautifully blend ancestral craftsmanship with a contemporary aesthetic, making them a perfect addition to any table setting.
