Technique

This 'Refrigerator' pitcher is quite interesting. An outer pitcher surrounds the two inner pitchers; or in other words three pitchers constitute one pitcher. On seeing this pitcher, the outer pitcher depicts the mythological scene of the Kurukshetra battlefield. The inner pitcher has simple cutting and the third one, the innermost pitcher, is made of simple clay which keeps the water cool even on a hot and sultry day.
