These vessels feature a classic bulbous form with a narrow neck and pronounced shoulders, historically used for storing olive oil, wine, or grains.

The surface displays an exceptional aged patina with natural mineral deposits, weathering, and tonal variations ranging from soft ivory to warm earth tones. This authentic wear gives each piece a unique character, embodying the timeless aesthetic of Spanish haciendas and colonial estates.
