Wondering if anyone can give any further information on this fabulous little ewer? Age? Origin?
Just over 11" high with handle.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

The form is called a "cantir," and it originated in Spain, but is also found in Latin America, and elsewhere where there was a Spanish heritage.

There is even a museum dedicated to the pottery cantir: http://www.museucantir.org/botiga_ang.htm
