If you are looking for a natural and authentic décor this gargoyle awaits you! Its roundness and its pretty color and especially the story it tells will charm you... An emblematic object of the mediterranean regions, especially the south of france and especially spain (botijo in spanish), the gargolette is a terracotta jug that was very useful to the peasants. It was used to store water and especially to keep it cool for hours! On either side of the cove allowing its transport, there is a filling neck and a narrow beak that pours the water into a thin net, which allows to "drink with the feast", ie without carrying the container to the mouth. It is in very good condition despite a slight lack on one side (visible in the photo).
