Description

This unique ceramic Cat Mug is a playful piece of functional folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala, a town celebrated for its pottery tradition. The piece is sculpted in the shape of a seated cat, featuring an integrated handle that forms the tail. The body is adorned with a dense, repeating pattern of blue, white, and teal teardrop or “peacock feather” motifs, characteristic of the region’s artistry. The cat’s face is rendered in white with stylized black whiskers and features, while the handle and rim are finished in a glossy deep cobalt blue, resulting in a charming and distinctive mug.
