Glazed Clay Nopal Candelabra | Mansión Iturbe Artisans Collection

This candelabra is an original piece crafted by Doña Luz, master potter from San José de Gracia, Michoacán. In a sector traditionally led by men, Doña Luz's work stands out for her impeccable handling of glazed pottery, a technique she has perfected to bring this blooming nopal design to life.

At Mansión Iturbe, our mission is the empowerment of women artisans. By choosing this piece, you directly support a Fair Trade model that guarantees dignified conditions and promotes the economic development of Doña Luz and her community, allowing the tradition of Michoacán folk art to transcend generations.

Inspired by Mexico's iconic Nopal, this clay candelabra is an organic and vibrant representation of this succulent plant. Each paddle is individually molded, creating a harmonious structure that balances rural tradition with contemporary design.

• Green Finish: The piece features the characteristic green glaze of San José de Gracia, known for its glassy sheen and depth of color.

• Flower Details: The candle holders are finished in a carmine red tone, simulating the nopal's bloom or prickly pears, creating a unique focal point of color.

• Pastillaje Technique: Decorative details applied by hand that provide a three-dimensional texture of great artistic value.
