Hand-Painted Barro Carafe | Orange

Warm tangerine orange is the backdrop for bold black leaves that rise from clusters of white, berry-red, and cobalt-blue dots. Rosettes with dark and coral centers fill the spaces between them, and a ring of blue dots circles the shoulder like a necklace. The pattern continues across the matching cup that rests on top, so the two pieces stack together as one sculptural form. This is capulineado, the patient dotting technique from Mexico named for the small, dark capulín cherry, paired here with hand-painted leaf motifs. Every dot and brushstroke was applied by hand by skilled artisans in Mexico.

Made from barro (traditional Mexican clay), this botella has a full, rounded body that narrows into a straight neck, and the cup fits over the top like a lid. The glossy hand-painted finish makes the colors glow, and because everything is painted freehand, no two pieces are exactly alike.

Display it on a nightstand, a dresser, a kitchen shelf, or a windowsill for a bright pop of color, or let it sit in a guest room as a charming accent. The warm orange and black palette suits boho, eclectic, and Mexican-inspired spaces. It makes a cheerful gift for housewarmings, birthdays, weddings, and anyone who loves handmade pieces.
