''Botija'' is a term used by archaeologists for a style of ceramic vessel produced in Seville, Spain from early in the 16th-century through the middle of the 19th century. It was radially symmetrical, widest near the top, tapering down to a rounded or nearly pointed bottom. It had a fairly small mouth, and did not have any handles or protusions. While the measurements of individual ''botijas'' vary, they tend to cluster around roughly standard sizes. They were sealed with cork stoppers. ''Botijas'' were widely used for shipping and storing liquids and some solids, and whole or broken ''botijas'' are found almost everywhere the Spanish Empire reached, as well as areas that the Spanish never controlled.

Names Spanish records refer to ''botijas peruleras'', ''botijas medias'', ''botijuelas'', ''boti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
