Beat The Heat And Shop These Earthen Pitchers For The Summer

We absolutely love matkas that come with hand-painted beautiful designs, and we spotted one on Mitticool. This one with a spade design is super easy to wash and can store up to 11 litres of water, giving you naturally cool alkaline water.

We like this small jug by Earthen Roots that comes with a glass and can store 800 ml of water, an ideal option for your table or office desk. It is double-fired and deeply porous, which helps keep the water cool and gives it that distinct sweet taste.

Trance Terra is an exclusive terracotta shop, and their bottles keep the nutrient value of water intact and are eco-friendly and chemical-free. Plus, they work with local tribes and communities to bring you the best of their products. We love this set of a bottle and glass that will fit into any corner. 

You can do away with glass and ceramic jugs and bring in a terracotta jug that will keep the water cool for hours. This set of jug and glasses by Happy Earth Studio will be a super cool rustic addition to your kitchenware and we also like the cute hand-painted design.

We really like this terracotta bottle with a sphere stopper by Ellementry, which has been carefully handcrafted and has got a contemporary touch to it. We like that it's intricately detailed and would look great on your dining table but might not be that easy to wash and refill. However, it is eco-friendly and can store up to 650 ml of water.

Okay, this might not be the most feasible earthen pitcher to own but we have to agree it's a collector's dream! It's hand-molded and has these beautiful painted with an intricate pattern reminiscent to the era of Indus valley civilisation. You can definitely use it to store water and enjoy that earthy taste it lends to liquids but, you need to be careful of avoiding wear and tear, so reserve it for special dinners or as a decor accent if you like.

Simple, sleek and convenient to use, thanks to it's wide mouth. This terracotta pitcher from Ikai Asai is crafted by craftsmen in Maharashtra. It stores 800 ml of liquids and is easy to clean. Perfect for everyday use, you can even buy the matching kulhads to complete the set!

If you are looking for a traditional jug in terracotta, consider this one from Vanchai. It's quite sturdy, comes with a lid so you can easily wash it by hand, and also comes with two glasses. It can hold 1 litre and is perfect for everyday use. We love how the glasses (that can each hold 225 ml) come with that bricked pattern which looks so old-school.
