Beautiful vintage hand-beaten Matki a spherical shaped water container with rivets and engraving detailing on the spout and top.
Originally these would have been used by a family to transport water from the local well. These stunning old water vessels are made by hand beating the metal panels into shape then riveting them together, it is a very skilful and time consuming process. These lovely old pots have a beautiful look combined with a fabulous patina which has been earned through many years of use.
