This authentic vessel, known as a Botijo or Cantaro, likely dates to the 19th or early 20th century and was originally used to naturally cool water through the porous clay. The classic form—with a sturdy pedestal base, central handle, and two functional spouts—is now beautifully accentuated by a distressed white painted finish. This chalky patina is perfectly worn, allowing the warm, earthy reddish-brown terracotta to peek through and adding a layer of authentic, sun-drenched history. Measuring 7.5 inches wide and 13.5 inches high, this historical piece serves as a striking tabletop vase for a dramatic floral arrangement, a sculptural accent, or a unique piece of folk art that celebrates the timeless style of the Iberian Peninsula.
