Clay Pot | Terracota Pot | Pottery Crafted Pot | Kalasham

elegantly designed traditional clay pot, likely a "handi" or a similar cooking vessel, crafted from unglazed terracotta. The pot has a pleasingly plump, rounded body, narrowing slightly towards the top, with subtle horizontal ridges adding texture and character to its surface. It features two small, integrated handles on either side, making it easier to lift and carry, and is topped with a perfectly fitted lid that has a simple, knob-like handle. The pot rests on a circular, woven mat, suggesting its role as a cherished kitchen item. Surrounding it are common Indian spices—piles of vibrant turmeric, black peppercorns, green cardamom pods, dried red chilies, fresh garlic cloves, and a sprig of curry leaves—all hinting at the rich, aromatic dishes traditionally prepared in such an earthenware pot.
