Pitcher

Ceramic pitcher made with clays with medium degreasing, wheel-turned and oxidizing firing. It has a globular body with a pyriform tendency, a flat bottom, an indicated and concave neck, a slightly invaded edge and a straight lip. It is equipped with an oval section handle.

It has no decoration but does have a stamp on the top of the handle.

The water jugs seem to correspond, preferably, to the production of the 18th century, since their capacity (about 8.3 liters) coincides with that established in the Ordinances of the Potters' Guild in 1751.

The jugs found show, in almost all cases, two printed marks, indicated as mandatory in 1751: that of the city (the lion rampant) and, perhaps, two concentric circles that could have served as a sign of its revision, as well as that of the cantorero (a letter, initials or signs), which identified them and served to check if they had matched the number of pieces included by the Council.

In the city of Zaragoza there were a large number of workshops dedicated to the ceramic production of goods for daily use such as jugs, which have little or no decoration.
