I knew these weren’t a worldwide thing but I only very recently learned just how localized this is.
In the summer, drinking cool water out of this while sitting among the trees. That’s good shit. It’s not a pitcher to fill a cup, you pitch it towards your mouth and gulp continuously from it.
I consider the one in the photo (found it on Google) novelty sized, all of the ones my extended family uses have a wider rounded base and hold like 1.5L. The lace things are to keep insects out but they’re annoying. Usually I only see the ones that cover the filling hole at the top, and no second piece for the spout.
