Colorful Jarrito de Barro, Margarita Mug – Stoneware in Vibrant Glazes

Add a splash of sunshine to your table with the Jarrito de Barro, a festive, hand-thrown mug inspired by the iconic Mexican clay vessel. Handcrafted in our small Colorado studio and glazed in custom recipes, ranging from warm earth tones to vivid greens and deep blues—this stoneware mug is a celebration of color and craftsmanship.

Its rounded body and flared lip are rooted in traditional jarrito (little jar) shapes, but adapted with high-fire durability and food-safe glazes for everyday use. Whether you’re sipping a cold jarrito on a patio, cozying up with café de olla, or gifting a one-of-a-kind piece to someone you love, this mug delivers charm, function, and artisan flair all in one.

Dimensions

  • Capacity: ~14–16 oz (measure to rim)
  • Height: ~5.25 inches
  • Width: ~3.5 inches at widest point
  • Rim: Slightly flared for easy sipping

Due to the handmade process, each mug may vary slightly in glaze, form, and size—this variation is a signature of its authenticity.

Materials

  • Clay: High-fire stoneware
  • Glaze: Custom, lead-free, food-safe glazes in bold colorways
  • Firing Temp: Cone 6 (~2230°F)
  • Durability: Microwave and dishwasher safe

All pieces are made by hand in the San Luis Valley in the little town of Jaroso, Colorado, using raw earth materials for both our homemade clay and glazes. Each glaze is applied by hand and reacts differently in the kiln, creating subtle shifts in hue, gloss, and texture that make every piece unique.

Our Process

Every jarrito is hand cast in our own molds and clay that we manufacture in our workshop. After shaping and drying, it’s bisque-fired, hand-glazed in rich pigments, and fired again to vitrify the clay and glaze. We take our inspiration from traditional Latin American drinking vessels, blending cultural form with modern glaze expression to create something both rooted and original.

This mug is part of our larger mission to create functional, sustainable pottery for everyday rituals. Learn more about how we make our work at sarahwelchpottery.com/the-pottery-process or shop more handmade pieces at etsy.com/sarahwelchpottery.

Each mug is handmade and unique. Slight variations in size, glaze pattern, or finish are normal and celebrated. All pieces are microwave- and dishwasher-safe unless gold is included (those should be hand-washed and not microwaved). If you’re purchasing a gold-accented piece, we’ll note that in the item description.

This mug is more than just drinkware—it’s a handmade object that honors tradition while brightening the present.
