THIS AMAZING VINTAGE SPANISH PORRON GLASS DECANTER WITH A MULTI-COLOURED LEATHER COVERING IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND MEASURES 27.5cm TALL x 25cm LONG x 14cm WIDE. THERE ARE NO CHIPS OR CRACKS IN THE GLASS AND THE WOODEN STOPPER IS IN GREAT CONDITION TOO. THE LEATHER IS NOT TORN OR CHAFFED. 

A PORRÓ, PORRÓN, OR PORRON (CATALAN: PORRÓ IN THE SINGULAR, PORRONS IN THE PLURAL) IS A TRADITIONAL GLASS WINE PITCHER, WHICH HOLDS 3/4 LITRE, TYPICAL OF MANY REGIONS OF SPAIN LIKE CATALONIA AND ARAGÓN. IT RESEMBLES A CROSS BETWEEN A WINE BOTTLE AND A WATERING CAN. THE TOP OF THE BOTTLE IS NARROW AND CAN BE SEALED OFF WITH A CORK. STEMMING UPWARDS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE PITCHER IS A SPOUT THAT GRADUALLY TAPERS OFF TO A SMALL OPENING. IT IS SHAPED SUCH THAT THE WINE STORED INSIDE IT WILL HAVE MINIMAL CONTACT WITH THE AIR, WHILE BEING READY TO BE USED AT ALL TIMES. THE IDEA ORIGINATED AS A REPLACEMENT TO BOTA BAGS. PORRONS ARE MOST COMMONLY FILLED WITH REGULAR WINES, EITHER WHITE OR RED, BUT ARE ALSO USED TO DRINK CAVA, AND A SMALLER VERSION FILLED WITH A SWEET, DESSERT WINE (TYPICALLY GRENACHE) IS ALSO COMMON IN CATALAN RESTAURANTS. THE LACK OF CONTACT WITH THE LIPS ALLOWS A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO SHARE THE SAME VESSEL WITHOUT OFFENDING THEIR SENSE OF HYGIENE.
