Incorporate these "Artichoke" candle holders into your decor, representing one of the most detailed expressions of pottery from San José de Gracia, Michoacán. These pieces are part of our Mansión Iturbe Artisans Collection and stand out for their pastillaje technique, where every small clay detail is manually applied to the body of the piece before receiving its glazed finish.
While these pieces can be purchased individually, you'll notice they look better together. We present them in pairs for the visual balance they bring to any space. However, it's important to remember that they are not identical:
Harmony by Color: We have pieces in different colors. Thanks to the similarity of their tones, pairs can be assembled that combine perfectly, allowing each to retain its own essence.
The Value of Artisanal Craftsmanship: Due to manual modeling and the reaction of the glaze to fire in the wood-fired kiln, both size and color intensity may vary. These subtle differences certify that you have a genuine, human-made work.
At Mansión Iturbe, we select these works with a purpose that transcends aesthetics: to support the economic empowerment of women artisans. In this case, the candle holders were made by Martha, an artisan from San José de Gracia, Michoacán. Your choice directly contributes to the financial autonomy of creators in their communities, allowing their talent to be a real and fair engine of development.
