Set of 2 Mezcal Copitas with Serving Tray

Experience the authentic tradition of mezcal drinking with this exquisite handmade pottery set featuring two beautiful brown glazed copitas and a complementary hand-stamped serving tray. This artisan-crafted collection brings the rich cultural heritage of Mexican mezcal service directly to your home, combining traditional functionality with contemporary American craftsmanship.

What Makes These Handmade Mezcal Copitas Special

These handmade mezcal copitas represent more than just drinking vessels – they’re a gateway to understanding and appreciating one of Mexico’s most treasured spirits. Each copita in this set measures 1.5 inches tall and 2.75 inches wide, with a perfect 2-ounce capacity that allows the complex flavors and aromas of quality mezcal to fully develop and be properly appreciated.

The accompanying hand-stamped serving tray measures 7.5 inches by 4 inches by 0.5 inches, providing ample space to hold both copitas alongside traditional accompaniments like orange slices and chili – the customary way mezcal is served in its native Oaxaca. This thoughtful design ensures you can present mezcal in the most authentic and visually appealing manner possible.

The Rich Tradition Behind Mezcal and Copitas

Mezcal, a distilled alcoholic beverage crafted from the maguey plant (a variety of agave), holds deep cultural significance in Mexico, particularly in the state of Oaxaca where most premium mezcal is produced. The spirit embodies centuries of traditional distillation methods passed down through generations of master mezcaleros. There’s a beloved saying from Oaxaca that perfectly captures the spirit’s importance: “para todo mal, mezcal, y para todo bien también” – meaning “for everything bad, mezcal; for everything good, the same.”

This philosophy reflects mezcal’s role not just as a beverage, but as a cultural touchstone for celebration, contemplation, and community gathering. When you serve mezcal in proper copitas, you’re participating in this rich tradition and showing respect for the craft and culture behind this remarkable spirit.

Superior Craftsmanship and Materials

Every piece in this handmade mezcal copitas set is meticulously crafted from durable stoneware using traditional pottery techniques. The beautiful brown glaze is applied by hand, ensuring each piece has its own unique character while maintaining the set’s cohesive aesthetic. The hand-stamped details on the serving tray add an artisanal touch that machine-made products simply cannot replicate.

All pottery in this collection is completely lead and cadmium free, making it safe for regular use with food and beverages. The pieces are designed to be practical as well as beautiful – they’re microwave safe, dishwasher safe, and built to withstand regular use while maintaining their appearance and integrity over time.

Proudly Made in Colorado

This exceptional copitas set represents the best of American artisan pottery, with every component – including the clay and glazes – sourced and crafted entirely in Colorado. The commitment to local production ensures superior quality control and supports American craftspeople. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, these pieces never utilize commercial molds, glazes, clays, or bisqueware, guaranteeing that each set is truly unique and handcrafted.
