This is not the numbered mesquite edition.
In brief Origin: honey from beekeepers in Jalisco, Mexico. Vessel cast and painted by hand in Santa María Canchesdá, State of Mexico. Net contents: 7 oz (200 g) raw wildflower honey. Ingredients: honey. Material: high-fired glazed ceramic vessel, painted freehand. No two alike. Edition: not numbered. Every vessel is painted by hand, one at a time. Not part of the numbered mesquite edition. No single flower stands behind this one. The bees worked a whole season in Jalisco, taking whatever opened when it opened, so one year's honey never quite repeats the last.

In brief
- Origin: honey from beekeepers in Jalisco, Mexico. Vessel cast and painted by hand in Santa María Canchesdá, State of Mexico.

Not part of the numbered mesquite edition. No single flower stands behind this one. The bees worked a whole season in Jalisco, taking whatever opened when it opened, so one year's honey never quite repeats the last.
The bee on the front is raised from the clay. The flowers scattered along the base are the ones she went to, dotted on by hand, and the seven ounces inside are what she brought back.
The honey
Amber. Floral on the nose and wide, rounder in the mouth than mesquite, with more body and a medium finish. Raw and unfiltered, so it will cloud and thicken, which is proof, not a defect; warm water under the vessel brings it back, boiling water does not.
It belongs against fresh cheese rather than aged: goat, requesón, panela, Oaxaca.
It makes no monofloral claim. That word has a threshold, 45% of the pollen from one species counted under a microscope, and this honey does not meet it.
The town
Santa María Canchesdá has 1,898 residents at about 2,543 metres (INEGI, 2020), in the Mazahua country of the State of Mexico, where pottery is the second livelihood after farming. Each vessel is cast, fired, painted, fired again. Nothing is traced or stencilled, so the dots fall differently every time and the bee never lands twice in the same place.

Afterwards
The honey runs out. The bee stays, under the glaze. Salt, spices, matches, or nothing at all.
