Large Carafe with 2 Cups, Charcoal

£144.00

Our carafe collection is a tribute to the traditional pitchers of the regions of Tonalá and Tlaquepaque in Jalisco, these two regions developed during the period of the conquest as pottery centers.

Originally these bottles were used to store water in addition to keeping it a few degrees below room temperature, their low temperature cooking allows the jug to breathe water and this in contact with the outside air cools the jug and therefore the liquid inside.

To avoid moisture stains on the surfaces where the jug is placed, a plate is placed. The jugs were usually decorated with paintings around the body of the bottle, the most common are lines that border the circumference. In general, a glass of the same material will also serve as a lid to avoid insects inside the bottle.
