Water Bottle
WW-1925-140431
<p>With its rounded lip, somber palette, and precisely composed decoration, this bottle displays an austere approach to form and embellishment. Bottles such as this are traded into Zambia’s northwest province, where they are called “African refrigerators” for their excellent ability to keep water cool by slow evaporations through the porous ceramic.</p>
