Unglazed, so the clay sweats and cools the water by evaporation
Wheel-thrown and pit-fired — no two are identical
Season it once with water before first use

About this product

An unglazed clay jug that cools water by evaporation rather than refrigeration. It will seep slightly in the first few days and then settle. The clay here is red and salt-heavy, dug from the same ponds the group’s families have used for four generations.

Looking after it

Rinse with plain water. Soap soaks into unglazed clay and will flavour the next few fills.

Standards

What we check before a product is listed

Four things we do not compromise on, because a handmade product is judged on all of them.

No preservatives in food
Pickles are cured with oil and salt, not vinegar and stabilisers. Bakery is dispatched within a week of baking.
Azo-free dyes in textiles
Reactive and natural dyes only, printed and dried in shade so the colour bonds to the fibre instead of sitting on it.
Cure times are respected
Six weeks for cold-process soap, four weeks for pickle, three weeks for lemon. Shortening these is how a handmade product is made to look handmade.
Batch-tested where it matters
Honey, ghee and spices are tested for adulteration before packing, and the report is available on request.

Ask about this product

It is wet on the outside. Is it leaking?

That is transpiration, and it is how the jug cools the water. A fine dampness on the surface is the mechanism working, not a fault.

Who actually makes these products?

Women-led Self Help Groups registered under NRLM, working from their own villages. Every product page names the group, the village and the district it came from, and you can read the full group story on its own page.

How is a Saahvi price worked out?

The group quotes a price that covers its material cost and the wage it wants to pay. We add packing, courier and our commission on top and show the split. Groups can change their quote at any time, and we do not negotiate it downwards.

How long will my order take?

Most food and personal care items are dispatched within 48 hours and delivered in 4–7 days. Large textile items such as quilts are stitched to order and take 7–10 days. The product page shows the estimate for the item you are looking at.

“The terracotta jug does exactly what it promises. Water tastes different, and it is the only jug I have owned that got better with use.”

“I bought the mango pickle expecting the usual jar. It is properly hot and the oil cap is real mustard oil. I have ordered it three times now and sent the honey to my mother.”
