Abstract
O presente artigo tem como objectivo uma análise da produção e consumo de púcaros em Portugal, atendendo às suas características produtivas e decorativas, estabelecendo a sua relação com o consumo de água entre os séculos XV e XVIII. A produção de púcaros em barro, utilizados para o consumo de água será certamente uma tradição mais recuada, contudo, foi durante a época moderna que os púcaros portugueses desenvolvem uma fama internacional, que os faz serem exportados em grandes quantidades para locais como o Norte da Europa ou as colónias do novo mundo onde a sua cor, cheiro e o sabor que fornecem os fez serem apreciados.
This paper aims to provide an analysis of the production and consumption of drinking cups in Portugal examining their productive and decorative characteristics and establishing their relation with the ingestion of water between the 15th and 18th centuries. Although drinking cups started to be used much earlier, during the early modern age an international demand for such objects emerges. This fame will take them to places from Northern Europe to the New World where their colour, taste and smell were highly appreciated.
