Gourds are typically characterized by their hard, woody shells and a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from small and round to long and slender. They can be smooth or textured and often come in various colors, including green, yellow, and brown. Gourds are part of the Cucurbitaceae family, which includes squash and pumpkins, and are commonly used for decorative purposes, crafts, and as utensils or containers when dried. Additionally, some varieties are edible, while others are primarily ornamental.

A dipper from a gourd is made by first selecting a mature gourd, such as a calabash or bottle gourd. The gourd is then cleaned, and its top is cut off to create an opening. Afterward, the inner flesh and seeds are removed, and the gourd is dried to harden. Finally, the exterior can be polished or decorated as desired, resulting in a functional and often decorative dipper.
Gourd can refer to both patola and upo, but they are distinct types of vegetables. Patola, also known as ridged gourd or snake gourd, is a specific variety with a ridged texture and is commonly used in Asian cuisines. Upo, or bottle gourd, is a smoother, elongated gourd often used in soups and stir-fries. While both belong to the gourd family, they differ in appearance and culinary use.
