      The form is called a "cantir," and it originated in Spain, but is also found in Latin America, and elsewhere where there was a Spanish heritage.

      There is even a museum dedicated to the pottery cantir: http://www.museucantir.org/botiga_ang.htm

      (Click on the "water jugs edition" pages for examples.)
