What is the Spanish name for the 5 gal. carboy caddy?

The Mexican terms I've heard are portogarafon ...

... or some variation on sopporte. Who knows what they say in Spain.

Do most of y'all have the pivoting ones? Because we have the decorative, glazed-ceramic ones with a spigot, where you invert the open garafon on top. Lacking extra counter space, we also have wrought iron stands (though there are wooden ones) like you can get at Arte Mexicano in San Antonio.

It's that kind of stand that I thought was being inquired about, which I've heard called a portogarafon or sopporte de garafon.

That's the one, the ceramic one with the spigot, thanks.

Guess I could've just taken photos. Duh.

Yeah, you can get both parts at Arte Mexicano. Many are ugly, but there's a huge variety, especially inside (some are outdoors in front). Maybe stop there and ask, "Cuál es el nombre de esta olla, y el soporte, en español?" The mom is more helpful; the daughter is hit-and-miss.
