Terracotta Double Handled Amphora Water Jug, Traditional Kitchen Gift

The timeless Amphora design can be traced back centuries to the Roman era, showcasing its enduring beauty and simplicity. Keeping contents cool through evaporative cooling, the capillary action within the porous material allows for a slow evaporation process, resulting in a liquid cooler than the outside temperature.

This versatile piece serves as a great addition to rustic home decor, while also offering the functionality of a wine decanter. Terracotta, being a porous material, will naturally perspire, effectively aerating the contents. It is recommended to let the wine sit for at least 30 minutes to ensure complete aeration.

Beyond its decorative appeal, the Amphora's plain and smooth surface makes it a perfect canvas for DIY enthusiasts. The material is easy to paint, carve, glaze, weather, relic, stain, or personalize in any way one desires, allowing for endless creative possibilities.

Due to the nature of the clay and the handcrafted workmanship, each Amphora piece is unique, with slight variations in color and size that only add to its charm and character. As unglazed terracotta is porous, it is advised to use only water or natural cleaning agents, as certain cleaning agents may be absorbed during the washing process.

With a volume of 68 fl oz. (2 liters) and a length of 10.6" (27cm), this Amphora-style vessel is a versatile and visually striking addition to any home. The timeless design and practical functionality make it a treasured piece that can be enjoyed for years to come.
