Summary Envy encompasses various forms of relatedness among A guabuena people, a small potter community of rural Andean C olombia. Drawing from ethnographic material, this article explores how envy is reciprocated in three concrete scenarios (kinship, legal sues, and hydraulics), arguing for an understanding centered in envy's ordinariness and daily practices as an analytical context from where to revisit more universalistic ideas.
