Wine or liquor cups

In Chile there is an ancient custom of drinking chicha en cacho. The chicha is a fermented grape and the cacho is the horn of the bull. This popular tradition is still alive today and is the reason behind this beautiful traditional craft initiated by Juan H. Betancourt's father. Thus, these cups are a tribute to this rite of the beginning of the grape harvest. In them the original shape of the horn is preserved by assembling a foot to the traditional cup form.
