Antique Green is one of the oldest and most traditional Spanish ceramic patterns. Shades of green, brown, red and gold are hand painted onto a warm beige background. The clever feature of this pitcher is that the mouth is pinched closed so that ice and fruit do not splash out into your glass. It has been hand shaped on a potter´s wheel and hand painted with a paintbrush by the talented de la Cal artisans in Toledo, Spain.Lead free and food safe, hand washing is recommended due to its size. Artisans at small family owned factories located throughout Spain carefully handcraft the From Spain ceramic collection. Often these factories have been in the family for several generations. Everybody in the family gets involved in the creative process of making ceramic. The elders often spin and mold the clay while the young design and paint the final product. The majority of the ceramics come from Toledo and Manises, Valencia. The detailed geometric patterns, and sun-drenched colors in the From Spain Ceramic Collection bring the zest and ambience of Spain to your home. Measures 10 x 6 in.
