About this piece
The seller lists this as a traditional copper water storage pot, or matka. The photos show a rounded body with a raised band around the middle and a wide open mouth. No lid is visible in the photos.
The seller says to store drinking water in it overnight. The page gives only the capacity, so we cannot tell you the height, width or weight. It suits a home that already keeps water in a pot and wants one in copper.
How it is used
Storing water in a copper pot overnight is an old household custom in India, and the seller describes the pot in those terms. Five litres of water weighs about 5 kg, so keep the pot on a firm, level surface once it is filled.
Looking after it
- Wash by hand with a soft sponge and mild soap.
- Dry it well after washing.
