Description

“Terracotta” is a Latin word, but it is intertwined with the heritage of Bengal. Terracotta is not just a form of art; it is a tale of history itself. It is known that this art form was prevalent in ancient Sumerian civilization, Babylonian civilization, and Mayan civilization. Archaeologists have found sufficient evidence of the use of pottery in the Indus Valley civilization. However, when we think of terracotta in Bengal, the first thing that comes to mind is Bishnupur city in Bankura district. The artistic creations here are renowned worldwide.

Starting from various clay sculptures, flower pots, tiles, to home decor items, nowadays artisans are making terracotta utensils, dinner sets, water bottles, and more. Among these, the use of terracotta water bottles has gained tremendous popularity in daily life.

Now the question arises, why choose terracotta bottles over plastic, metal, or stainless steel? The answer lies in science. Yes, science. In the present time, most people rely on science. And that same science justifies the use of terracotta bottles. We all know that terracotta bottles can naturally keep water cool. Let’s discuss how it happens. Terracotta bottles have countless microscopic pores on their surface. Through these pores, water continuously evaporates and mixes with the environment as vapor. And for this evaporation, latent heat is absorbed from the water inside the bottle, thus keeping the water cool.

Now let’s take a look at the advantages of these bottles:

1. With the increasing environmental pollution, it is crucial to consider eco-friendly options. The use of plastic bottles has led to a rise in pollution. On the other hand, terracotta bottles integrate seamlessly with the environment, making them highly desirable in the present scenario.
2. Plastic bottles pose a severe threat to human health due to the release of microplastics. However, terracotta bottles eliminate this risk, ensuring safe drinking water.
3. Many acidic substances leach into water stored in plastic bottles, posing health risks. Terracotta bottles, made from alkaline-rich clay, neutralize these acids, making the water healthier.
4. Terracotta contains various minerals beneficial for the body. Drinking water stored in terracotta bottles helps replenish these minerals.
5. Unlike refrigerators, where the water cools down artificially, terracotta bottles naturally keep water cool without any energy consumption.
6. Terracotta bottles are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Their elegant looks and finishing make them a preferred choice.
7. These bottles are made from clay rich in minerals found in the Gangetic plains, ensuring high quality and durability.
8. They are 100% natural, without any chemical coatings or additives.
9. Environmentally friendly, sturdy, and reusable, terracotta bottles are a sustainable choice.
10. They are fired at high temperatures, ensuring that no microorganisms survive, making them hygienic for water storage.

Currently, there is a growing demand for terracotta bottles not only in Indian villages but also in distant countries like Europe and America. So why delay? Choose terracotta water bottles from “Amar Mati” for the highest quality, elegance, and eco-friendliness.

Terracotta Bottle Care Guidelines:

Do’s

1. Before using the bottle, fill it completely with regular drinking water and let it rest for 12-18 hours. After that throw the water and let the bottle air dry completely. Now, you are ready to use it.
2. Occasionally clean the inside of the bottle with gentle warm water and soft cleaning brush. Clean the outside of the bottle in running water. By doing this the micropores of the bottle will be cleaned and you will get naturally cool water every time.
3. Store in a cool, dry place
4. Handle with care.

Dont’s

1. Do not use any soap, detergent, acids or any other chemicals to clean the bottle.
2. Do not use scrubbers for cleaning the bottle.
3. Do not store any acidic or citrus-based liquid in it as it may affect the taste of water.
4. Do not heat the bottle and do not keep hot water in it.
5. Do not keep it inside the refrigerator.
