With an almost sculptural silhouette, this red clay moringue honours the Portuguese ceramic tradition with both simplicity and functional beauty. Its pierced circular shape, designed to keep water cool, is also a testament to popular ingenuity. Handmade, it carries in its raw clay the warmth of the land and the knowledge of generations. An object that is both utilitarian and poetic.
