| Item | "Floral Round Box" It is a perfect gifting idea for your friends. Blue Pottery is widely recognized as a traditional craft of Jaipur, though it is Turko-Persian in origin. The name ‘blue pottery’ comes from the eye-catching Cobalt blue dye used to color the pottery. It is one of many Eurasian types of blue and white pottery, and related in the shapes and decoration to Islamic Pottery and, more distantly, chines pottery. It is relatively unusual as a type of quality or luxury Indian Pottery, most Indian types being functional and though often highly decorated, relatively low prestige wares. This product has been crafted by hand and may have slight irregularities or imperfections in color or embellishment. |
| Making Process | Blue Pottery is completely handmade Jaipur blue pottery, made out of a similar frit material to Egyptian faience, is glazed and low-fired. No clay is used: the 'dough' for the pottery is prepared by mixing quartz stone powder, powdered glass, Multani Mitti (Fuller's Earth), borax, gum and water. |
