Artisan Crafted Otomi Blue Birds and Flowers Ceramic Mug, "Blue Otomi "
Shipping Timeframe: 7 to 17 business days. Delivery Estimate
For this delightful ceramic mug, Alejandra Aceves depicts the motifs of the Otomi tenango — textiles covered with hand-embroidery on animal and plant designs drawn freehand on the fabric. Even cave art in the sierra of Mexico's Hidalgo state can come to life on these tenangos. The skilled artisans use a closed herringbone stitch now known as the Otomi stitch that shows only the outline of the patterns on the reverse side.

"Beautiful Mug"
I gave it to an elderly friend who has dementia. She loved it, especially the animals which she sees occasionally in her back yard. Her smile when she saw it lit up the room. Thanks to the gifted artisan who made it. Now i want to get one for myself.
