Traditional Botijo Water Pitcher, Can be used for decoration or for drinking water. Traditionally, its function was to collect and transport water. It is ideal for refreshing water in a natural and ecological way. As it does not have ceramic glazes, it has the right porosity to breathe and cool the water to an ideal temperature. For use, we recommend placing a plate under the piece to collect the water that oozes. Before starting to drink from the jug, we recommend rinsing the piece inside and out. Its outer and inner parts should be cleaned regularly without soap.

Handmade in Catalonia, Spain.
