Lidded Black Pottery Jug

Handcrafted Clay Pitcher | Azamgarh Terracotta Art

This handcrafted black pottery jug is shaped from natural terracotta clay and smoke-fired using the traditional technique practiced in Nizamabad, Azamgarh. Its rounded body, curved handle, and fitted lid create a timeless vessel form rooted in Indian pottery heritage.

The deep earthy black-brown finish develops naturally during the smoke-firing process, giving each piece subtle tonal variations and organic texture. The sculpted spout allows for controlled pouring, while the lid helps preserve contents.

Its balanced proportions make it suitable as a water jug, rustic beverage pitcher, or heritage-inspired table accent.
