Unlike the fast-spinning electric wheels of today, traditional makers use a slow, hand-spun wooden wheel. The potter coils the clay, scraping the inside with a polished stone (the kenda gala ) while shaping the outside with a wooden paddle. The ovoid shape is achieved by feel, leading to subtle variations—no two Negombo Badu Pots are geometrically identical.

The "Badu Pot" (literally translating to "Seed Pot" or "Cargo Pot" in Sinhala) associated with the Negombo region is far more than a clay vessel. It is a symbol of resilience, a tool of ancient hydration science, and a relic that connects the modern fishing town of Negombo to a vast network of transoceanic trade that spanned from East Africa to Southeast Asia.

The clay is sourced from the specific "Badu Kulu" (Cargo clay pits) near the Muthurajawela marsh. This clay has a high alumina content and low iron impurities, which prevents metallic tastes in the water.
