Just like human creation, there are no two jars alike, and not all come out perfect.
These earthen jars, called burnay, are among the artifacts on display at the Museo Ilocos Norte of Gameng Museum, located beside the Ilocos Norte Provincial Capitol and which used to be an old tobacco factory during the Spanish Colonization Period.
Up to now, these jars, which are made in banga factories in the town of San Nicolas, are being used to hold rice grains, water, salt, vinegar, basi or sugarcane wine, bugguong or fish paste and anything else. They are also used as interior or landscape decoration. A fresh one is not that expensive. The older it gets, the more valuable it becomes.
