The linear drawings found on Nazca and Moche pottery
This is one of a series of teacups adapted by a workshop in 20th-century Lima as a tourist souvenir.

Although detailed records of the artist's style and workshop are not available,
In the workshop districts of Miraflores and Barranco,
These are vessels that likely got lost in travelers' luggage and were scattered all over the world.
Traces of the potter's wheel, variations in glaze thickness,
Line wobble—
Even though they are mass-produced, each one retains the unique touch of a human hand.
On the back, there is a handwritten signature that reads "Los Reyes / Lima, Peru".

It's the perfect size for drinking coffee.
As you can see in the fourth photo,
There's a bet on the back of the cup.
