Beautiful and very high quality mate cup made of pumpkin, covered with black leather and a metal ring from ALPACA.
The hand decorated metal ring makes this cup unique and a work of art!
The size and the color as well as the decoration of the item are different because they are unique pieces.
While using the mate-cup a discolouration of the pumkin takes place. This is a natural process which occurs through the absorption of the tea.
Before the first use of the cup it should be "cured" in order to ensure a longer life.
Please make sure not to pour water up to the top edge when filling the Calabaza, as the metal ring is only placed on and not waterproof. Otherwise, this could lead to damage to the cup.
