Huancito Clay Rabbit Pitcher

A sculptural rabbit pitcher hand-built and burnished in Huáncito, Michoacán. Flowers, foliage, and traditional decorative motifs are painted by hand over the burnished clay surface — vivid and precise against the deep chocolate-black body. Functional and expressive: pours comfortably, works equally well as a vase.

About Huáncito Ceramics
Huáncito is one of the few communities in Mexico where this distinctive burnished clay tradition continues to flourish. A Purépecha town within La Cañada de los Once Pueblos, it has long been known for sculptural clay forms shaped in family workshops and decorated entirely by hand — each piece carrying the subtle variations that come from the artisan's hands.

Domingo de Ramos — Market Find
The Domingo de Ramos tianguis in Uruapan, Michoacán is one of Mexico's most celebrated popular art markets. These pieces were not entered in competition — they were found by Raul Cabra, curator and founder of La Embajada, through direct conversation with the makers. Chosen not just for the object, but for the person behind it.

About Handmade Pieces
Crafted by hand using techniques passed down through generations of master artisans. Variations in color, texture, and finish are inherent to the process — each piece is, by nature, one of a kind.
