That’s interesting – my French is too rusty to know which minerals are being put back in, but it seems clever. As for the aesthetics, the egg is such a strange choice as a visual reference – I’m not sure how it mixes with the water concept! The black one has a spider or Darth Vader quality, but I find even the white one a bit ominous. If you find any more please post them!

I was thinking the same thing! I don’t have an answer. I’ll ask Indian By Design.

The original matka design facilitates the seeping of water through its pores where evaporation achieves the desired cooling. This version appears to have some sort of glossy coating. I wonder if that hinders the natural cooling processes by obstructing the pores. Any idea?

Thank you! That explains why I was unable to find anything online. I just checked and immediately found this. Thanks again.
