Blue Pottery Workshop, In Jaipur
A person is surrounded by an abundance of crafts of all kinds as soon as they enter the enchanted ancient city of Jaipur. An infinite variety of colors and themes, whether found in textiles or pottery, are what connect them all together in the husk of the heat and the allure of the stories. The pink city is known for its blue pottery, which is a craft that is both exquisite and delicate. The striking blue dye that is used to color the pottery gives rise to the term “blue pottery.”
The majority of the pottery is adorned with animal and bird patterns, and some of it is semi-transparent. Because it is glazed, low-fired, and created with Egyptian paste, the pottery has a distinctive look. Because it uses a specific dough made by combining quartz stone powder, powdered glass, Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth), borax, gum, and water, this art form stands out from all other forms of pottery. It is the only type of pottery made without the use of clay worldwide. Beautiful decorative objects like tiles, door knobs, pots, vases, cups, and plates are produced with this technique.
