This piece, wheel-made and fired in a wood-fired kiln, stands out for its generous silhouette with a globular body, sturdy handles, and short neck, faithful to the classic design of Catalan "càntirs."

Its finish combines fired light clay with a glaze partially applied to the handles and neck, a traditional technique that protected the most exposed areas without sacrificing the clay's natural breathability. The irregular glaze streaks, unique to each piece, add a unique visual and emotional value.

Originally used to hold and serve water, this jug retains its original patina and slight signs of aging, making it today a decorative piece with soul, perfect for projects that embrace authenticity. See less
