About this Product
Celebrate the warmth of tradition with this handmade Pan Dulce Inspired Mug, designed to honor the sweet breads we share with family—paired perfectly with a cozy cafecito, champurrado, or atole. Each mug is thrown on the pottery wheel and hand-painted to resemble the familiar shapes and colors of your favorite pan dulce. The handle and select areas of the mug are left unglazed, allowing you to feel the natural texture of the clay. Though bare, the clay is fully vitrified, meaning it’s non-porous and will not absorb moisture. This listing is for one mug.

- Pan dulce inspired design: Hand-painted details inspired by beloved Mexican sweet breads.
- Handmade ceramic: Wheel-thrown, individually crafted, and painted by hand.
- Tactile finish: Unglazed handle and sections reveal the clay’s natural texture.

Meet the Maker
I’m an artist based in Houston, Texas, who fell in love with the process of pottery and the way it brings art into everyday life. Working out of my garage studio, I create small-batch functional ceramics designed for the home and office. Each piece is crafted with care and intention, balancing beauty and utility so that it can be enjoyed in your daily use.
How it’s Made
Handmade Process:
- Thrown on the pottery wheel using stoneware clay.
- Slowly dried to a leather-hard stage for trimming and refinement.
- Bisque fired at 1855°F (1013°C) to prepare for glazing and painting.
- Each mug is hand-painted with glaze, and re-fired at 2165°F (1185°C) for vitrification.
- No two mugs are exactly alike—each one carries its own charm and personality.
