An example of the Spanish ‘botijo’, an unglazed ceramic container that cools beverages by evaporation. Perfect for those hot days, who needs a frdge!
The ceramic water cooler probably originated in the Indus Valley Civilization, which would make it 5000 years old.
The botijo generally has a wide, spherical belly with two openings on top — a wide opening to pour water in the jug and a smaller drinking spout — as well as one or two handles to carry it. Traditionally, people drink the water directly from the botijo by holding it up and tilting it so that the water pours from the drinking spout.
Botijo-etiquette demands that the lips do not touch the drinking spout, as the water container is usually shared among several people, and of course the content can also be poured into a glass.

Black And White
A collection of images that are in black and white.
Black and white photos are often seen as “timeless,” and many photographers and viewers tend to think of them more artistic than their more popular color counterparts. A black and white image has a surreal and almost dreamlike quality, too;
