It has a truncated-conical shape, with the base diameter smaller than the mouth, which is completely open. The walls and base feature circular perforations." Movable Heritage "There are two types of pottery: black pottery, obtained by reducing iron-rich clay, which has been documented since the 11th century in various closed forms (puchero, barb\u00f3n, penada, cider jug...), and glazed and enamelled pottery, which appears from the 13th century (escudilla, plate, jug, botijo...). The latter has the peculiarity of having two firings, the second one to fix the glaze and the paint, with geometric, vegetal and zoomorphic decorations, the most singular being the p\u00e1xara, the most representative colours being green and yellow.\r\nThe 18th century was the time of greatest splendour, with more than 70 potters. The arrival of earthenware would gradually lead to a decline in activity, until the only pottery workshop that has survived since the middle of the 20th century, making pieces in the same way as they were made in the Middle Ages."
