Yesterday, my mom - who is watching our store these days - was stoked to let me know that she managed to sell one of our prized finds at Sala - a pair of antique banga or earthen jars. Mel found them in Batangas - where a lot of these antiquated jars reside - previously owned by an old and established family who proudly claimed that the said jars were with their family forever. The
lola of the family said that they had the jars since she was a little girl and she is now fast approaching 80, so these things are truly aged.
The new lucky owners of these venerable
bangas probably know that these jars could have stored drinking water for the family for years or aged fish sauce or vinegar. Whatever their uses were, these jars surely have stories to tell.
