A small artifact that holds a grand love story.

Maestro José Garcia Antonio went blind nearly two decades ago, yet from memory he continues to shape the face of his beloved wife, Maestra Santa Reyna Teresita, onto his unique clay pieces.

Don Jose’s wife and adult children now work alongside the maestro, aiding him with the hand building and firing of pieces while also supporting his creative vision and the development of his extraordinary sense of touch that gives the family studio its name, Manos que Ven, Hands that See.

This sweet little cup is the perfect for mezcal, espresso, as a lovely catchall to hold your most precious small artifacts safe, or simply on your shelf as a reminder of the beauty of love.
