Barro Negro Flower-Engraved Shot Glass (pair) – Valles Centrales, Oaxaca

Standard shot glass (approx. 60ml)

Perfect for serving tequila or mezcal neat, this small glass brings a handcrafted touch to any table setting.

Handcrafted by Familia Pérez in the Valles Centrales of Oaxaca, this shot glass is shaped from barro negro, the region's signature black clay, then hand-engraved with a flower motif before firing.

The engraving is done freehand, each petal and line cut into the clay before it's fired and burnished to its deep, glossy black finish.

Please note that as each piece is handmade, slight variations may occur, making every item beautifully unique.

  • Our Barro Negro is Lead free

  • Natural Pigments (The residue of the natural pigment may be noticeable when you touch it, these pigments or residues are not harmful)

  • Hand Wash (wash it before use)
    Barro Negro is baked at low temperatures, making it not suitable for microwave or dishwasher use. Please hand wash and let it fully dry before the next use.
