La MexicanaCantarito de Barro Natural, Clay Cups, Set of 4

Muy ricos

Very good, I have pica and these satisfy my cravings

I wanted this to make Cantaritos, a tasty Mexican drink. The first one I poured tequila in, it was fine. The second one had a crack on the bottom and half of my tequila leaked out before I noticed. I proceeded making our drinks in the others and handed them to a couple of friends. Our lips ended up sticking to the cup, so bad that I had to transfer the sink into a regular cup and threw the other three away. I wished they were glazed on the tops and outside of cantarito and this wouldn't have happened. Wasn't satisfied at all.

I was looking for clay cups that would replicate what people of the 1st century would have used to drink wine for a particular occasion; these were fine; all four in the set were somewhat different and clearly hand made; though certainly a novelty and an anachronism, I just may try them out for daily use to see how they hold up

I liked how the cups gave the feeling of back in the day mugs of clay! Exactly what I was looking for. But one of the mug is cracked. My friend opened it as her birthday gift so she was one short because the drink we put in it just continued to leak out.

I was hesitant to buy these with all of the negative reviews. I went ahead and ordered a set. After ordering, I contacted the seller and asked about how many cups and concerns of breakage. They reassured me there are 4 cups and they are well packed against breakage.They arrived within 4 days. 4 cups well bubble wrapped. Took each one out, examined, no breaks, no cracks. The clay is rustic, pits, bumps, one uneven on bottom. No problem for me but others may not like it. I wanted an ancient way to keep my drinking water cool without ice and watching Asian Indian shows, this was the best way. I took one out of the box and have it soaking in water for 2 days. Then I'll scrub it down really well and start using it. I can also see making Indian Lassi, Yogurt drinks, Smoothies...I better soak another cup for those.Never wash with soap or it will pick up soap taste. Use salt or baking soda to wash and a scrubber sponge.*these aren't museum quality clay works of art, just simple cups to drink from. I can see potting orchids in it.

We used for props and was perfect for our set

There was different muddy patches and sections that didn't match the majority of the terracotta color of the cup
