Cools water the ancient way
4.8· 5 reviewsA slender-necked water pot turned on the wheel and slow-fired in an open kiln. The porous walls sweat gently through the day, cooling the water inside by evaporation — the way earth has cooled water for two thousand summers.
“Shaped from silt of the Ganges plains, each surahi carries the fingerprints of the potter who threw it. No two curves are the same.”

I was skeptical about the whole 'clay pot changes the water' thing, but after a week I can honestly tell the difference. Softer, cooler, no metallic aftertaste. The pot itself is beautiful — clearly hand-thrown, not factory perfect, and I love that.
Arrived in Pune without a single crack — properly cushioned. Seasoning ritual on the site is easy to follow. Second order coming for my mother.
Colour is slightly darker than the photo on one side (kiln flash?) but honestly it makes it feel more real. Studio replied to my WhatsApp questions within an hour.
45°C outside, water inside stays cool through the day without fridge. The neck pours cleanly without spilling. Feels like my grandmother's kitchen.
