Alcarazas jug

In terracotta with floral patterns, 2 tones, 28 cm high. Written on the bottom “fauchon” Spain, extremadura, province of badajoz, salvatierra de los barros. Unglazed terracotta water jug, therefore porous. Through the pores of the ceramic the water seeps and as it evaporates it will absorb calories from the water contained in the container, which has the effect of cooling it. Handle, narrowed neck and pinched spout.
