Vummile

A terracotta amphora-jar for holding water of ancient origin, approximately 1920-1930.

It was also used as a tool for housewives for a variety of household purposes.

The flasks have onomatopoeic names, originating from the sounds they make when emptying. The vummile is a characteristic terracotta jar once used by farmers to store fresh water, essential during field work.
