Explore the vibrant and colourful history of one of Indian culture's most versatile metal products - the traditional Kadai fire bowl.
Fireplaces through the ages have been essential for people in their daily lives and have had a range of uses. They have been used to cook food for centuries, as well as being used to provide warmth. The main use of fireplaces has evolved through the ages as new technologies have been invented. The invention of the cast iron stove, by Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century, began to revolutionise the way food was cooked and soon evolved into ways to heat water, which led to the introduction of central and hot water heating systems.
Originally created in Ancient China, the cast iron teapot has become a widely known traditional Japanese artefact as more people are now drinking loose teas. The designs of the teapots include different symbols which have a range of meanings, such as joy, strength, happiness and blessings.
