Heart Candelabra for 3 Candles | Red Glazed Clay | Mansión Iturbe Artisans Collection

Mastery of San José de Gracia: Red Glazed Clay Art

The Heart Candelabra is one of the most emblematic expressions of the pottery from San José de Gracia, Michoacán. This piece, designed for three candles, is born from the hands of master artisans who have perfected the technique of traditional glazed clay for generations. This piece was crafted by Doña Luz, Master Artisan of San José de Gracia.

At Mansión Iturbe, we are honored to integrate this work into our Artisans Collection, celebrating the legacy and creativity of those who bring the earth to life.

Its intense red color and high-gloss finish are the result of an expert glazing process, transforming a symbol of regional identity into a piece of timeless sophistication.

The Essence of Handmade: Authenticity and Human Creation

Each candelabra is a manifestation of the rhythm and vision of the artisan who creates it. We value the organic nature of their craft:

• Seal of Authenticity: As a work molded and carved entirely by hand, each piece possesses its own unique characteristics that certify its manual origin. The shine, shape, and red nuances depend on the kiln's temperament and the artisan's unique touch, ensuring that each piece is one of a kind.

• Artisanal Consistency: Although each work is unique due to its manual origin, the artisans maintain the technical excellence that characterizes their community. If you need additional pieces, they can be made to order, always respecting the natural variations that validate their artisanal creation.
