A tall ceramic pitcher, thrown and painted by hand in Spain. The clay keeps water cold longer than glass does, and the lip pours without dribbling. This one is Esmeralda — emerald green, deep and glossy.
Water tastes better cold, and this keeps it that way through a long lunch. Ours also holds sangria, and branches when it is not holding either.
Made by Alfar Tierra Cocida, a small pottery in Spain, thrown and painted by hand.
Water on the table, wine on a Sunday, and greenery in it the rest of the week.
