These genuine Indian kadhai or cooking pots, are no longer suitable to cook food. We have purchased them from villagers in Rajasthan to re-purpose as fire bowls. They are handmade and no two are the same, each one is as individual as the person who made it and they carry the scars of years of use. A beautiful and unusual article for your garden. Some can be sealed and used to create a lovely water garden, or used as a most unusual planter.
