Pre-Columbian small pottery pitchers are ceramic vessels made by Indigenous cultures of the Americas before European contact (generally before 1492). They served practical purposes such as holding and pouring liquids (water, chicha, or other drinks) and sometimes had ceremonial roles. en.wikipedia.org These were typically hand-built using coil-and-scrape or similar techniques from local clays, then smoothed, slipped, painted, and fired in open fires or simple kilns. Small examples often measure roughly 5–8 inches (13–20 cm) in height.
