Earthenware Pitcher - 18 cm - Upside-down jar quinoa (No reserve price)

Inverted zoomorphic jar Quinua (Peru). Made of fired clay and hand-painted. The peculiarity lies in its traditional bottom-filling system. The jug is filled by introducing the liquid through an opening at the base and, thanks to its internal structure, it can be placed in a vertical position without the contents spilling. The bird's beak functions as a pour spout. The jar represents a stylized bird, with a globular body, an elongated neck that ends in an open beak on both sides, and a bridge-type handle located at the top. It presents a surface with reddish-brown tones, characteristic of Quinua ceramics, decorated with vegetal and organic motifs Dimensions: 18 x 16 x 12 cm Weight: 526 g It will be shipped with professional packaging and tracking code
