Antique Indian Buttermilk Pot

Traditionally used in rural Indian households to store and serve freshly churned buttermilk, this hand-thrown clay pot carries a compact, rounded form and wide mouth shaped by function as much as folk design. Its surface holds decades of soot, lime, and everyday wear — a genuine record of use rather than a manufactured finish. Dimensions Approx. 4"W x 4"D x 4"H Materials Hand-thrown ceramic, unglazed, with a naturally aged patina. Available Finishes Available in gray, terracotta, or blue tones — each piece is one of a kind and will vary in exact color and surface pattern. Design & Craftsmanship Hand-thrown by rural artisans, each pot takes its compact, rounded shape and wide mouth from generations of everyday household use. The surface patina — built from soot, lime, and handling over time — is original to the piece, not applied. Key Features Hand-thrown ceramic construction; compact rounded form with wide mouth; naturally aged surface with soot and lime patina; late 20th century Indian origin; one of a kind. Important Notes This is a vintage piece from India, late 20th century. Surface markings, patina, and coloration are original to the piece and are not defects. As one-of-a-kind vintage stock, the exact piece received will differ from the photograph shown.
