A small round water vessel with a spout, traditionally used in India for drinking water and keeping it cool; also spelled 'gugglet'.
From Hindi 'guglet' or Sanskrit 'ghaṭikā,' reflecting Indian English and the influence of Indian languages on English vocabulary. These vessels have been used in South Asia for centuries.
Goglets are evidence of how porous earthenware works—water seeps through the tiny pores and evaporates, cooling the remaining water inside. It's ancient technology that works so well people still use them in India today.
