Choosing a perfect large terracotta jug is not just about choosing a container, but about choosing a partner who can enhance the flavor of water,wine,or oil. This article reveals three key rules to help you avoid pitfalls and find the best storage container.

 

Large terracotta Jug Manufacturing Material and process

When choosing a high-quality and exquisitely crafted large terracotta jug , the first thing to understand is the manufacturing process of the pot and the quality of the clay material, rather than just looking at its appearance.

● Key points for purchasing: Purchasing from the manufacturing factory at the source is the most comprehensive way to understand the craftsmanship level and quality control of terracotta jugs, ensuring safety. In addition, natural clay is rich in minerals, which can endow high-quality clay jug with the ability to breathe, thereby achieving excellent natural cooling effects.

● Friendly reminder: Beware of cheap low-temperature fired clay that feels too light and has a chalky appearance. This usually indicates that there are impurities in the large terracotta jug , or that the production process is too focused on speed rather than quality. This type of clay is fragile and will leave a hint of gravel and soil flavor in water or wine.

Our manufacturing process and methods

As a professional large terracotta jug manufacturer, we strictly control the quality of raw materials to ensure that they are non-toxic, harmless, and meet food grade standards.

Our clay comes from specific mineral deposits known for their purity and mineral content. Each batch of clay is tested to ensure it meets our safety and performance standards. Therefore, the cans we manufacture have a dense structure and solid and reliable quality. Ensure durability and purity.

Quality control is the key to quality assurance

The firing method of large terracotta jug is equally important as their material. The firing temperature determines the strength and porosity of the clay jug .

● Testing method: Gently tap the side of the terracotta jug with the knuckles. Well fired high-quality clay jug will produce a crisp and high pitched “bell sound”.large terracotta jugs fired at low temperatures will produce a dull and shallow “bang” sound.

● Importance: Hearing the “bell” indicates that the clay particles have vitrified at high temperatures. This makes the terracotta jug extremely sturdy and durable, while still retaining its microporous structure, thereby promoting cooling and evaporation. The sound of “bang” indicates that the structure of the large terracotta jug is porous and fragile, prone to cracking and absorbing flavors.

Our Promise

Our large terracotta jug are fired at extremely high temperatures (typically between 1100 ° C and 1200 ° C) in modern kilns, ensuring consistency and integrity in the vitrification process. That’s why our product is suitable for outdoor use and can withstand the thermal shock of holding cold liquids in hot weather without excessive sweating or cracking.

In addition, as a clay factory, we not only provide customers with affordable factory direct supply prices, but also attach great importance to product quality control standards. In terms of products, whether it’s large terracotta jug or personalized customization, our technical team provides customized support.

Large Terracotta Jug the Craftsmanship Quality

If the function is not perfect, even the most beautiful terracotta wine jugs useless. So, the details of the craftsmanship are crucial.

● Check the spout: The pouring spout should be smooth to ensure a clean and leak free pouring. Slide your fingers along the spout of the pot, and your hand feels smooth and delicate.

● Check the handle: The handle feels comfortable to grip and the connection is firm – this is the key point of stress. A poorly connected handle is a common fault point.

● Consider the interior: When used to store liquids such as water, wine, or oil, the traditional practice is to have no glaze on the inner wall, which allows the clay to exert its magic. However, for easier cleaning, some people prefer water bottles with glazed inner walls. Both options are good, but you should be aware of the final outcome.

Our design philosophy

We use manual craftsmanship to complete the production of each large terracotta jug . At the same time, craftsmen will carefully polish each product, pursuing the utmost craftsmanship standards and quality requirements in the handling of details such as the spout and handle. We offer a wide selection of glazed and unglazed inner liners. Provide customers with exquisite and quality assured large terracotta jugs.

Your popular question answer

Question 1: How to clean and maintain my large terracotta jug ? Do I need to “season” it?

For new unglazed large terracotta jugs, we recommend a simple “seasoning” treatment.
Firstly, rinse the large terracotta jug thoroughly, then add water and let it stand for 12-24 hours. The purpose is to fully saturate the clay and avoid absorbing the taste of the first batch of liquid.

Secondly, hygiene and cleanliness are necessary. When cleaning, avoid using soap. Hot water and bottle brushes can be used. Occasionally rinsing with diluted vinegar solution can maintain freshness.

Question 2: Is it safe to put large terracotta jugs in the refrigerator?

Okay, but it’s important to note. From hot temperatures to cold refrigerators, thermal shock carries certain risks. The safest approach is to allow the large clay jug to return to room temperature before refrigeration. After cooling, it can keep the water cool for several hours. Our high-temperature fired clay jug is more resistant to high-temperature impact than other cheap large terracotta jugs.

Question 3: Can my large terracotta jug hold water, wine, or oil?

Of course! High quality large terracotta jugs have a wide range of applications. However, we recommend using a ceramic pot specifically for holding a liquid. Porous clay will absorb flavors over time. One terracotta jug can hold water, one pottery pot can hold wine, or use a smaller terracotta jug to hold olive oil, in order to better enjoy the pure flavor of each liquid.
