This Talavera-style espresso cup comes with a matching saucer, both hand-painted in cobalt blue and white. The cup carries a blue lattice with dots, the saucer a mix of lattice and leaf motifs in two shades of blue, and the inside of the cup is glazed white.
It is shaped, painted and glazed by traditionally trained artisans in Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico, and sourced from an independently run business. As each piece is finished by hand, its shape, colour and pattern may differ slightly from those shown.
It holds 0.08 L, just right for the first espresso of the morning, and makes a lovely housewarming or wedding gift. Hand wash only.
