Hello,
Here is an object that I can't describe, is it an oil pourer, does anyone have any information on where this originated from. Stamped FELIX, could be from Spain. Thanks for looking and help

I believe it's an earthenware water jug. Fill opening, handle & pour/drinking spout.
In Spain they are called a Botijo. Similar drinking containers can be found in other Mediterranean countries, as well as in Mexico (where it is known as a 'búcaro') and on the Indian subcontinent (where it is called a 'ghara', 'matka' or 'suhari').
