About the Item
Heading : Catalan or Spanish Càntir

Origin : Catalonia or Spain
Colour : Pale green
Type : Free-blown contiguous hollow body and foot, waisted to form rudimentary stem; two applied spouts at top, with base of missing ring handle showing evidence of blue trailing; body and spouts decorated with somewhat crudely applied white trailed latticino threads both internally and externally;
Glass Type : Lead-free

Notes : Larger ceramic or earthenware versions of these vessels were for utilitarian day to day use, whereas the glass versions such as this example were generally for display or ceremonial purposes - particularly christenings for the latter; we are advised that subtle differences in the shape of the aperture on the wider of the two spouts were pertinent to the gender of the child that was being welcomed in to the church.

- 20th Century Spanish Catalan Black Clay Botijo or Water Jug from Verdu, SignedLocated in Birmingham, ALAn early 20th century barro negro or black clay botijo, hand made and signed ROCA CAUS VERDU on the handle, by the famed pottery company, Roca Caus, in the village of Verdú in the Catalan region of Spain, circa 1900. This beautiful utilitarian pot, with its wide belly, top handle, and one mouth where it's filled and one mouth called a pitón or pitorro to drink from, is a traditional porous clay Spanish vessel originally designed to contain water. The botijo is a typical element of Spanish culture and can be found in nearly every rural town and varies in shape, color, and material depending on the area. The Verdú jugs are known for their ability to keep water cool and very fresh because of their porosity. The expression "they always cry" is well known. Today, this antique clay jug can be used as a vase, stand alone conversation piece, or grouped with other pieces of blackware on a table, shelf or kitchen counter. Beautifully decorative, it will be a wonderful addition to any collection. Each piece is a unique work of art, and its dusky matte patina only adds to its overall character and charm.
