Ceramic / terracotta Ram water vessel / pitcher / thingy - where from? What for?

"Thingy" is my go to word when I don't know exactly what I'm dealing with

Terracotta - I don't think it's super old because the inside doesn't look too used or worn out - I could be wrong.

About 8" from spout to tail. About 7" high at tallest point. Weighs 22 ounces.

Maybe some version of this. Some search terms, maybe.

 

Thanks HT - similar yep. Aquamanile - time to learn what that is

 

I love it. I don't know if it is a replica or real, probably the first, but I have always loved aquamaniles. And this one is so charming.

And to use. As my mother always said, wash your hands before dinner.

 

I have not found any with this shape mouth/spout.
Also can’t find this coloring on other terra-cotta to determine country.
Maybe it will ring some bells with someone.

 

Weird thingy , but very nice and definitely different

Medieval table manners with an aquamanile

Sure seems like it's an aquamanile. If I can figure out where from that would be excellent... but so far not too many clues. Thanks again everyone for your help.
