Additional Information

In the 18th century, in Spain, mancerinas, or marraquetas, emerged as pivotal components in the ceremony of hot chocolate tasting. Crafted from silver, other metals, or porcelain, these elegant holders were designed to accommodate the jícaras, providing not only functionality but also a touch of luxury to the experience.
