The Blue Pottery

The Blue Pottery or the only form of pottery which is not made from clay. Yes, you heard that right. It's a stone based pottery. The name 'Blue Pottery' comes from cobalt blue dye used to colour the pottery.

A traditional craft of Jaipur of Central Asian origin. It is believed to have originated in China and then spread to Turkey & even Netherlands.

The Persian art of blue pottery came to Jaipur from Persia (as the name suggests) & Afganistan. It was brought to India during the Mughal period via Kashmir.

This pottery is made from an Egyptian paste by mixing quartz stone powder, powered glass, multani mitti/Fuller's earth, borax, gum & water.

Beautiful items like tiles, door knobs, pots, vases, plates, lamps are produced. The biggest advantage of this pottery is that it doesn't develop cracks; it is hygienic & is quite suitable for daily use. In recent times more colours like green, turquoise, yellow etc are being used.

In fact I can never get bored of travelling to the Pink City of India over & over again, just to to get a glimpse of those gorgeous blue creations. The colour blue makes me smile every time.

See you soon πŸ€—
