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

Pomelo Casa’s small Lebrillo Pitcher brings traditional Spanish bird-or-pomegranate motifs to an approximately 6-inch terracotta form hand-painted in sky blue. Compact enough for milk, coffee, soups, or sauces at the table, it can also hold cutlery or a modest gathering of flowers. The pale blue color keeps the patterned pitcher fresh and light, making it easy to use alongside ceramics collected from different places and periods. Handmade and hand-painted in southern Spain, each piece varies subtly in brushwork and glaze.

“Sky blue makes this little pitcher feel almost impossible to assign to one job. I would use it for cream, then flowers, then serving spoons, and that freedom is exactly why small pieces become indispensable.”
-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.
