Martha Romero Pueblo Pottery Ceramic Latte Mug

An Indian Pueblo Store exclusive! This unique 16oz café-style ceramic mug is a replica of a single beautiful micaceous clay pot handcrafted especially for Indian Pueblo Store by award-winning artist Martha Romero of Nambe Pueblo.

Martha utilized traditional hand-gathered clay and coiling methods to create a beautiful work of functional art. Romero burnished the entire pot with her polishing stone prior to pit-firing it outdoors, giving it a natural balanced pattern throughout. The simplicity of the vessel reflects the tradition of utilitarian pottery Nambe is known for, where the natural shimmer of mica shines through in place of applied decoration.

This replica is practical way to bring the beauty of traditional Pueblo pottery designs into your everyday life, and also makes a great gift.

The originals for Series 1 through 4 are on display at the Indian Pueblo Store located inside the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. All of the participating artists receive royalties for each mug sold, with proceeds also supporting the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico.
