The Bariloche White Ceramic Gourd

Specialty Release for Winter 2024! We only produced a limited small batch. Get them while you can!

HANDMADE STONEWARE - The Yerba Crew Handmade starter kit comes with 1 Bariloche White handmade stoneware ceramic gourd, 1 Stainless steel bombilla, 1 Cleaning brush, 1 complimentary gourd sleeve, and maybe some extra goodies

A UNIQUE COLLAB - Each handmade mate gourd is unique due to the production style of our collaborator Ildikó Károlyi. We use the design as a guideline but allow for a 15% difference in styling between each cup to allow for the cups to form naturally as they are being turned and shaped.

THE BARILOCHE WHITE NAME - This beautiful handmade stoneware yerba mate gourd resembles the snowy peaks of the Bariloche region in Argentina, known for its tranquility and timeless beauty. Take a sip and relax!

The Making of the Bariloche Ceramic Gourd

Overview
The Bariloche Ceramic Gourd is a unique, handcrafted piece that takes approximately two weeks to complete. Each gourd is crafted with care, resulting in subtle variations that make every piece truly one of a kind.

Materials
Food-safe clay (ISO 6486), designed for everyday use.

Crafting Process

Wheel-Throwing and Shaping: Each gourd begins with wheel-throwing to shape the piece, followed by careful trimming to refine its form as the clay sets.
Initial Glazing and Bisque Firing: Once the clay is firm, a thin glaze is applied to the rim and allowed to dry before undergoing the initial bisque firing in a kiln at approximately 1832°F (1000°C).
Secondary Glazing: After cooling, a second glaze is meticulously applied to the interior and halfway down the exterior, leaving the lower clay body exposed for a striking contrast.
Final Firing: The final kiln firing is done at around 2246°F (1230°C) and lasts for 10 hours.
Cooling: Each gourd then undergoes a 24-hour cooling period to ensure durability.

Final Result

A glossy, crystalline glaze that blends seamlessly with earthy rim tones.
A beautiful contrast between the glossy glaze and the natural matte clay body.
Vitrified clay, making the gourd waterproof and dishwasher-safe.

The Bariloche Ceramic Gourd is not just functional but also a beautiful expression of traditional craftsmanship, designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

THE YERBA CREW BARILOCHE WHITE YERBA MATE GOURD - Handmade stoneware mate. Drink from something pulled from the earth, shaped by human hands, filled with the “Drink of the Gods”, yerba mate. The volume of each gourd will vary from 9 to 11 oz (267ml - 325ml)

THE YERBA CREW SILVER BOMBILLA - Made from stainless steel and 6.1 in (155mm) in length working perfectly with the size of the Yerba Crew gourd

THE YERBA CREW BOMBILLA CLEANER - Made from stainless steel and 7 in (178mm) in length with nylon bristles can be used to clean deep inside your bombilla when you do your periodic bombilla cleaning

GOURD SLEEVE - If you use your gourd for hot tea that requires boiling water, you can slide this sleeve onto your gourd before you pour in the hot water. This cotton sleeve can keep your hands cool from the heat of the gourd

Will my gourd look exactly like the picture?
The quick answer is “mostly”. We aim to keep the gourds about 85% consistent with the design but the handmade nature of the production allows for color and shape variations. Each gourd is unique and one of a kind.

How do I wash ceramic mate gourds?
For long-term usage, it is best to hand wash ceramic mates. Machine washing will not destroy the mates but it may cause the colors to fade over time.

Are ceramic gourds fragile?
These stoneware mates are strong but they are still made of clay and will most likely chip, crack, or break if dropped more than a few feet from the ground.
