Glazed Ceramic Jars/Bharani

I adore these ceramic jars. They are our traditional kitchenware of Tulunadu and I love the colouring & the shape of these beautiful jars. Every worthy Bunt household has an array of bharani’s for storing different stuff like pickle, tamrind, kallu uppu (rock salt). They are a must for preparing uppad pacheer. Huge bharani’s would rest in the cellars of ancient Bunt households, carrying their bounty of the pickled mangoes & tamrind. This type of ceramic jars help to store any ingredient for long time without odour, discolouring the containers as well as keeping them from air and moisture. Very well thought by our ancestors!
