1960s Spanish Majolica Lemons Hand Painted "Botijo" Pitcher Earthenware Water Jug

Description

A showstopping piece of Mediterranean charm, this 1960s Spanish Majolica "botijo" pitcher is a celebration of craftsmanship and natural form. Hand-painted in vivid shades of citrus yellow and verdant green, the jug takes the whimsical shape of a clustered bunch of lemons, crowned with sculptural leafy vines and a twisted handle. A traditional earthenware form originating in Spain, the botijo was historically used to keep water cool through natural clay evaporation, and this version adds a sunny, decorative twist.

Signed "Spain" on the underside, this piece is both functional and striking, ideal as a centerpiece on a kitchen island, as a vase for summer branches, or simply as a conversation-starting collectible. The glaze is bright and glossy, with charming hand-painted imperfections that speak to its artisanal origins.
