Mexican cooks always have a molcajete, tortilla press, and hot chocolate molinillo whisk in their kitchen. Thai chefs know the importance of a well-crafted knife. These are not \"one-and-done\" tools - they've been in use for centuries, and for good reason. The molcajete can be used for making everything from salsa to guacamole to queso fundido, in addition to grinding herbs and spices for a variety of recipes. A citrus juicer is perfect for the morning cup of juice, and for making a vinaigrette to go with your citrus marinade for dinner. A molinillo will not only whip up the perfect cup of Mexican hot chocolate, it can also be used as a cocktail muddler. And of course, an all-purpose chefs knife will be a go-to any day. These valuable tools from around the world will find a special spot in the kitchen of novice and experienced home chefs alike.\u003c\/span\u003e","published_at":"2020-09-09T11:19:10-06:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"International Kitchen Tools"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-09-09T14:44:59-06:00","alt":null,"width":5295,"height":3439,"src":"\/\/verveculture-wholesale.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/20200709_VERVE_Bowls_0521.jpg?v=1599684300"}},{"id":219809448088,"handle":"kitchen-essentials","title":"Kitchen Essentials","updated_at":"2024-04-10T18:08:19-06:00","body_html":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExplore our range of kitchen essentials from around the world, including hand-forged knives from Thailand and artisan-made juicers, tortilla presses, glassware, and more from Mexico.\u003c\/span\u003e","published_at":"2020-09-09T10:37:09-06:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"kitchen essentials"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-09-09T10:37:07-06:00","alt":null,"width":1254,"height":856,"src":"\/\/verveculture-wholesale.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/VCTMKS_9.jpg?v=1599669428"}},{"id":219856470168,"handle":"mexico","title":"Mexico","updated_at":"2024-04-10T18:08:20-06:00","body_html":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e scoured the markets in Mexico to bring you and your store purposeful, handcrafted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e items for your shoppers and their kitchens.

Cantaritos de barro cups are traditional small clay cups that are staples of street fairs in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Cantaritos cups are humble, with a lot of character and history. Their clay material is perfect for maintaining a cocktail’s cold temperature, and the handmade nature evoked memories of generations worth of fun.
How They Are Made
The cups are made out of clay and we have finished our cups with a special led-free glaze to reinforce them. The maker, Rodolfo, and his team shape each cup on a manual turntable. Since he was a boy, Rodolfo has been creating Mexican ceramics with the help of his father, who taught him traditional shapes, painting, glazes, and finishes. He studied at the cultural school at El Refugio in Tlaquepaque. Learn more about him here>>

Dimensions & Care
These lead-free cups are traditionally meant to be refilled during the night at street fairs, but are usually treated as disposable. We have finished our cups with a special glaze to reinforce them. With proper care the cups could last for some time, but are still easily breakable and not dishwasher-safe. Hand wash with warm soapy water- not dishwasher-safe.
Approximate capacity is 16 oz. 5" tall x 3.5" diameter at rim x 2" diameter at base Each cup is handmade on a manual turntable and size may vary.
