ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handcrafted ceramic pitcher brings the timeless art of Mexican pottery to your table. Shaped from local clay and fired in the traditional kilns of Jalisco, each piece carries the distinctive earth tones and textures that emerge naturally from the fire's embrace.
The artisan glazes only the interior, allowing the exterior to showcase the raw beauty of natural clay as it responds to high-temperature firing. No two pieces are identical, as the fire creates subtle variations in color and pattern that tell the story of each pitcher's unique journey through the kiln.
With its generous 50-ounce capacity, this round vessel serves water, juices, or any beverage you wish to present with intention and grace.

In Mexico, Michele de Alba founded Al Centro Cerámica to connect the work of local pottery workshops with people looking for quality ceramics. Working hand in hand with artisans, she developed her own designs based on ceramic styles from the pottery traditions of Guanajuato and Jalisco.
Al Centro Cerámica selects, coordinates and designs each piece together with the artisans who make it, creating timeless dinnerware and vases. The company always cares for the making process, the characteristics of the ceramic and the capacities of the artisans who make each piece.
Al Centro Cerámica was born from a firm belief in the bond between the designer, the maker and the customer. Each piece honors artisan work as an example of kindness and integrity, the collective effort of everyone involved in its creation.
