Vera information
The pottery of this region has its origin in ancient times
strange pottery pieces are made, like for example a sort of
jug with 4 beaks or openings, called the "Four-Break
Jug" ("Jarra de Cuatro Picos"). It has got
a round shape, like a ballon with a thin waist and a long
neck. On top it has got four "beaks" or "openings"
in order to drink out of it. Among this pottery or ceramics
handicraft you can also find a funny sort of jug called the
"Tricky Jug" ("Jarra Trampa"). This jug
has got a trick, as it has five "false openings".
If you try to drink out of it, you will spill al the water.
If you like, you can visit several pottery shops and their
handicrafts contacting the Tourist Information Office: Plaza
Mayor, phone number: 34 950 30 31 42. Fax number: 34 950 39

Besides the ceramics and the pottery, we also have to point
out the extraordinary wrought-iron handicraft, the marble
carvings, and the wicker-work handicrafts.
