AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

botijo or porrón depending on the region is the name.
it is brand new, unused.
ideal for use in the garden, a masía, the countryside, etc.
historically it was used by field workers because it keeps the water fairly cool, through evaporation.
it is left hanging as much as possible from a tree and in the shade so that it has good air circulation and cools the water
recommended before using a "curing" of two or three days, fill with filtered water and a couple of spoonfuls of anise or similar. pour out that water and repeat at least twice.
it is also commonly used as decoration.
it should never be painted because it loses the osmotic cooling properties

as seen in the photo
