Uruli ( ഉരുളി) is a traditional cookware extensievly used in the South Indian state of Kerala and few neighbouring places. It is also pronounced as Urli and commonly made of copper and bronze. Urulis were used in homes for cooking and in ayurvedha to make medicines. Now Urulis are used as a decorative bowl to float flowers which is a part of South Indian tradition.

These vintage Urlis, once used for cooking on huge firewood stoves for marriages and festive occasions and as well in temples in preparation of food items, before the introduction of modern gas stoves, are now discarded for modern utensils owing to the ease of handling and maintenance. Such vintage Urlis are up cycled as planter vases for interior decor.
