This paper is envisioned to propose a reflection regarding the value and significance of utilitarian handcrafted objects as a fundamental element of popular culture, associated with tradition, heritage, and folkloric preservation. Based on direct experience, photographic record, and assorted theoretical approaches, it was viable to generate a conceptual review and reflection considering the consumers&#8217; appreciation of traditional handcrafted artifacts, understanding these implements&#8217; value and significance beyond their form and function, as the cultural significance of handcrafted utilitarian, decorative and traditional products, as a crucial component of tangible and intangible heritages and identities in the American context.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Existe gran diversidad respecto a cómo las personas se adaptan a las condiciones del entorno natural y cómo se relacionan con sus objetos y productos cotidianos. Por encima de su estética y su funcionalidad, los usuarios valoran los artefactos utilitarios de acuerdo con diversas perspectivas y factores, incluyendo aproximaciones tradicionales, emocionales y culturales. Este artículo busca proponer una reflexión frente al valor de los artefactos utilitarios y artesanales, como elemento fundamental de la cultura popular, asociado a la tradición, el patrimonio y el folklore. Con base en la experiencia directa, registro fotográfico y diversas aproximaciones teóricas, fue posible proponer una revisión conceptual y una reflexión frente a la apreciación de los consumidores hacia sus artefactos cotidianos, más allá de la forma y la función, como el significado de los artículos artesanales y tradicionales, decorativos o utilitarios, componentes fundamentales de la identidad y el patrimonio material e inmaterial, en el contexto americano.]]></p></abstract>
