I just got back from your web site, and you're right :)   You don't sell 
these.  I did, however, find my reference, and it's at Lehman's Non-Electric 
Catalog.  Unfortunately, it's a much more modern version than I had 
remembered, resembling one of those ceramic water coolers you see in some 
homes.  Well, actually, that's exactly what it is.  However, I think they 
would be fairly simple to make, if you used a clay with enough porosity.  
Terra Cotta would probably work very well.  It seems that the jug should be 
designed so that either hangs from a handle or two, or is nestled in some 
sort of cozey...

Mr. Wizard, what happens when you combine pasta and antipasta?
