Paindi (Water pitcher storage)
Design Innovation and Craft Resource Centre, CEPT University
Ahmedabad, India
This paindi was built into the brick wall of a blacksmith’s workshop. A stone slab was fixed at the base to create a surface for keeping water pots. An earthen pot filled with drinking water was placed in the paindi. It was held upright with the help of three pieces of broken bricks forming a support for the pot.
