This vintage Indian water vessel presents a distinctive circular body with a short neck and wooden cork stopper, a form that immediately evokes its utilitarian origins. Such vessels were traditionally carried by travelers and villagers to store and transport water, with the rounded silhouette designed for balance when worn across the body with a strap or rope. Crafted in metal, the piece has developed a richly aged patina, showing surface variations and subtle irregularities that speak to decades of handling and use.
The circular body rests flat on its side yet was light enough to be portable when filled. Its wooden cork top, worn smooth from time, retains its rustic charm while hinting at its practical role in daily life. Today, the vessel stands as a sculptural decorative object, offering a glimpse into traditional Indian craftsmanship and utilitarian design. Its understated surface, softened by age, allows it to integrate seamlessly into both rustic and contemporary interiors, where it can be displayed as a focal point or alongside other ethnographic pieces.
