Catrina Mezcalero — Hand-Engraved Jícara from Oaxaca

$20.00
Description

Sip tradition with every pour.
Hand-engraved by Oaxacan artist José Cruz Sanz, this Catrina mezcalero is carved from  jícaras — dried gourds that grow on the Ciria tree along the Oaxacan coast. Using hand tools called gubias, fine sandpaper, and touches of paint, José transforms each gourd into a celebration of life, death, and artistry.

The Catrina design honors Mexico’s Día de Muertos spirit — elegant, eternal, and full of soul. Perfect for sipping mezcal or displaying as art, each piece connects you directly to Oaxaca’s living craft tradition.

Because every gourd is unique, slight variations in shape and engraving make each one a true original.
