Crafted by a potter named M Sivasamy, this clay pot was designed to help keep produce cool for days.

He made a cylindrical pot made out of clay with a tap on one side and an outlet to pour water on the other side. A smaller pot fits inside the bigger one where you can place your vegetables which is then covered with a lid. The technology is simple — the water in the pot remains cool keeping the vegetables fresh and cool. - BetterIndia

For places with no or limited electricity, this could help immensely. Especially considering terracotta(earthenware) clay is almost used worldwide.

Yep, these are brilliant for dry climates, but for humid areas you'd need something else or a small power station (check out gearscouts.com if you need one that's actaully efficient with LFP batteries).
