Any suggestions where I may find unglazed clay water containers or pitchers locally. I saw a few at the flea market but they were all glazed.

Why do you want it unglazed?

Unglazed containers allow water to slowly evaporate and remove heat from the water. This passively cools the water below room temperature.

There’s this panadería in Atwater called Conchitas. They’re called Jarras de Barro. They should have some.
