The Beauty of Handmade
Because each mug is hand-painted by artisans, you may notice small natural specks or subtle variations in the glaze and brushwork. These aren't flaws — they're the fingerprint of genuine handmade Mexican pottery, and they make your ghost mug truly one of a kind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a jarrito?
A jarrito ("little jug") is the traditional Mexican clay mug used for everything from café de olla to cantarito cocktails — here in a festive Day of the Dead ghost edition.
Is each mug unique?
Yes. Every mug is hand-painted, so the ghost, the "BOO", and the brushwork vary slightly from piece to piece.
What size is it?
Each jarrito holds about 14 oz (415 ml), and stands roughly 4" tall — a generous size for coffee, cider, or hot chocolate.
Can I buy just one?
Absolutely — choose a single jarrito, or save with the set of 2 or set of 4 for gifting and hosting.
