 Egg shaped pot for water, called Mangay 14.03.1178

The rural communities in the Swat valley of Northern Pakistan still prefers to use earthen water pots instead of insulated water coolers and earthen cooing utensils instead of silver, brass and steel pots. The rare and skillful artisans of pottery are revered and respected throughout the valley for their rare talent and outstanding creations. Unfortunately the art is slowly and gradually fading in the traditional vale of Swat due to the low earning of the artisans and modern utensils of metal, plastic and china clay.
