The clay pots are made today by the Paravicino family of craftsmen with indigenous roots from Cuzco in a small domestic workshop in Lima. The tealight holders, which can also be used as incensorios, are skillfully hand-painted with a brush made of cat hair.

The typical Pisaq patterns go back to ancient cosmology from birth, the creation of living beings and nature to the demise of the universe of a people who lived with nature and oriented their life according to the course of nature. This is reflected in the variety of patterns in our unglazed clay pots.
