Unique design that has been maintained throughout its history tracing back centuries to Roman pottery, affirming its beauty in simplicity. Keeps contents cool through evaporative cooling: Capillary action evaporates slowly through the pores, making the liquid inside cooler than the outside temperature. A great piece for rustic home decor. Also a perfect piece for DIY enthusiasts. Easy to paint, carve, glaze, weather, relic, stain or personalize in any other way you may come up with! Can also be used as a wine decanter. Terracotta is a porous material and will naturally perspire, aerating the contents. As unglazed terracotta is porous, cleaning agents may be absorbed during washing. Please use only water or cleaning agents that do not leave residue. Vintage jug, approximately 11.8" tall in very beautiful vintage condition that will add character to any space.
