Marbled Ceramic Mug 17 oz - Handmade Mexican Pottery Coffee Cup | Lead-Free

This marbled ceramic mug is handmade Jalisco, Mexico, using a rare artisanal technique: artisans dip a straw into colored glaze and blow, creating delicate bubbles that pop across the surface and leave behind a one-of-a-kind marbled pattern. No stencils, no stamps — just breath, glaze, and decades of skill. Every mug that comes out of the workshop is completely unique.

The Bubble Technique

To create the marbled effect, artisans mix glaze with water, dip in a straw, and blow until a cloud of bubbles forms. The mug is then rolled through the foam, and as each bubble bursts against the clay it leaves a delicate ring behind. The result is a pattern that can never be replicated — a signature of authentic handcraft from Dolores Hidalgo.
