Pottery from Huáncito

Discover the vibrant pottery of Huáncito, Michoacán, a Purépecha Indigenous community renowned for its distinctive clay artistry. Here, artisans craft platters, vessels, and striking cántaro towers, each burnished to a satiny finish and adorned with delicate, lace-like motifs painted in natural pigments.

Our collection showcases the work of Elena Felix and Bernardina Rivera, master potters who began their craft at age 12 and went on to win national awards, including recognition as Great Masters of Folk Art by Fomento Cultural Banamex.
