WATER SET: Kolshi, glass and plates

Our collection focuses on the kolshi and the functional elements which all form part of everyday practices related to drinking water.

A kolshi, bangla word for pitcher, is the traditional vessel used in Bangladesh to collect and carry water. Iconic object connected with the primary elements of water and nature, the kolshi is used in a series of functions ranging from container for drinking and cooking water to rice jar. The kolshi provides also an old and effective method for household water filtration widely used in rural areas of Bangladesh.

Let’s officially start the vapa pitha season!

Vapa pitha is one of the most popular pitha in Bangladesh.  It is a steamed cake made with rice flour, coconut and Gur ( Date palm juggery) stuffed inside. A kolshi is often used as steamer pot.

 Our Kolshi set consists of different utensils which can be used for preparing vapa pitha:  the kolshi, a colander, a plate, bowls and pure cotton filter cloths.
