Spanish Botijo
A Spanish botijo is a ceramic jug or urn that was historically used by workers to carry water and keep it fresh during the day. This beautifully handmade and hand painted version can be used to serve water or any other beverage of your choice. The narrow openings allow for air flow to permit smooth pouring and filling, but also provide a built-in protective cover, and the integrated handle makes it easy to lift and pour. Or you can just use it for decorative purposes--it makes a colorful and unique accent piece that blends well with Mediterranean and many other types of decor.
