CÀNTIR 2019 - Miguel Milá Clay Jug

"The botijo has taught me more than I could ever give back to it. Today, more than ever, objects need to be sustainable. It is better to see a broken botijo than an abandoned plastic bottle. As a designer, my task has simply become making its use comfortable in today’s world." - Miguel Milá

For this edition, the Museu del Càntir and the Friends of the Museum invited Miguel Milá to reinterpret the traditional Spanish clay water jug, a botijo. The aim is to renew the museum’s collection by connecting timeless forms with contemporary use.

Each piece is handcrafted by a select group of artisans using glazed pisa ceramic.

This limited edition, is the result of a functional and enduring object shaped by tradition and thoughtful design.
