Pitcher

Pitcher or jug with a restored pyriform body from which several fragments of the rim, neck and shoulder are preserved. It has a molded edge, a vertical neck and globular shoulder, a rounded and thickened lip both inside and outside, and a handle with a central groove that starts at the neck and ends at the shoulder.

It was made with a whitish calcareous paste and a medium-sized degreaser, in oxidizing firing. As a finish, it received decoration painted in black on the outer surface: at the top of the neck, next to the edge, wavy lines and two horizontal lines; between neck and shoulder, zigzag lines between horizontal lines; At the bottom, free angle shapes on horizontal lines and bands.

According to the research of Aránzazu Mendívil, it is a very common type throughout the peninsula, as well as the decorative motif of undulating black lines that remained without noticeable variations until the 14th-15th century.

In Zaragoza, for example, on Cinco de Marzo street where they have appeared since the construction of the suburb, or on Paseo de la Independencia, where it persisted until the abandonment of the morería at the beginning of the 13th century. The same thing happens at the Fleta Theater. In Huesca, in Las Sillas (Marcén) in Taifal chronology or in Calatayud on Rúa de Dato angular street with San Miguel street on levels from the 11th-12th centuries. There are also numerous finds in Lérida where they are called gerra otenalla, with a chronology from the first half of the 10th century to the beginning of the 12th century.
