Half Moon Carafe with 2 cups, CHARCOAL
HALF MOON
The Half Moon ceramic carafe is specially designed to contain Mezcal, Tequila or any other liquor but as a high temperature ceramic you can use it for water, oil or just as a decorative flower vase. Its conical shape refers to the shape of the agave leaves while the upper part takes the semi-spherical shape of the cup traditionally used to drink mezcal creating a beautiful sculptural vase.
The head of the bottle also serves to contain two glasses of smaller diameters which can be used to serve the liquor or salt to accompany the drink.
The cups can be accommodated in different positions depending on the use you want to give them.
Our carafe collection is a tribute to the traditional pitchers cantaros or botellones of the regions of Tonalá and Tlaquepaque in Jalisco, these two regions developed during the period of the conquest as pottery centers.
Originally these cantaros were used to store water in addition to keeping it a few degrees below room temperature, their low temperature cooking allows the jug to breathe water and this in contact with the outside air cools the jug and therefore the liquid inside.
To avoid moisture stains on the surfaces where the jug is placed, a plate is placed. The jugs were usually decorated with paintings around the body of the bottle, the most common are lines that border the circumference. In general, a glass of the same material will also serve as a lid to avoid insects inside the bottle.
