Lebrillo Hand-Painted Terracotta Pitcher in Blue by Pomelo Casa — 6″

Pomelo Casa’s small Lebrillo Pitcher is an approximately 6-inch hand-painted terracotta pitcher decorated with traditional Spanish bird-or-pomegranate motifs in classic blue. The compact form is particularly adaptable: useful for milk, coffee, soups, or sauces, and equally at home holding cutlery or a small gathering of flowers. Traditional blue makes the folk pattern easy to mix into an existing table rather than requiring a coordinated service. Handmade and hand-painted in southern Spain, each pitcher carries subtle variations in brushwork and glaze.

“The smallest pitcher is often the one that works hardest. In blue it can move from milk at breakfast to sauce at dinner and still look perfectly natural holding a few stems in between.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Before first use, wash by hand in hot soapy water, rinse, and allow to air dry. The pitcher is dishwasher safe, although alternating with hand washing will help protect the hand-finished glaze from the effects of constant machine washing. Microwave and refrigerator safe; do not use in the oven. Small differences in brushwork and glaze are natural to these handmade ceramics.

Maker / Heritage

Founded by interior designer Francesca de la Fuente, Pomelo Casa grew from the ceramics she knew while growing up in southern Spain. The collection is handmade and hand-painted in a small family-run workshop in Granada, using traditional Lebrillo motifs and techniques the maker traces back more than five centuries. Formed from terracotta clay and finished by hand, each piece carries the slight variations in brushwork and glaze that distinguish ceramics made this way.
