Large Handcrafted Terracotta Water Jug – 1 pc

The large handcrafted terracotta water jug is handmade in the village of Idda Douchene, in the Al Hoceïma province, where pottery has traditionally been the work of women, and the knowledge is passed down from mother to daughter. Crafted from locally sourced clay collected near the village, each jug is shaped using traditional hand-operated pottery wheels and decorated with geometric Amazigh motifs painted with a natural pigment made from a local edible plant. All materials are natural and non-toxic, making it perfectly safe for everyday use. Thanks to the natural microporosity of terracotta, this jug is ideal for naturally filtering and storing drinking water using an ancestral technique. The clay helps keep water naturally cool, gently aerated, and pleasant to drink without the need for electricity or industrial filters. Both practical and decorative, each jug preserves an exceptional Moroccan pottery tradition while supporting the women artisans of Idda Douchene.
