Blue Pottery


Blue Pottery is a craft widely practiced in the Jaipur region of India. It is characterized by its intricate designs and vibrant blue color, with motifs inspired by nature, and Islamic and Mughal art. The products like pots, vases, plates, and tiles were typically produced earlier but now it has evolved to include functional objects such as pen holders, soap dishes trinket boxes, and candle stands among others. History and Tradition Blue Pottery has a history steeped in cultural exchange and craftsmanship. Believed to have been introduced to India by Persian artisans in the 14th century, it gradually evolved into a distinct art form. Excavations at the Purana Qila have revealed glazed ware of the Sultanate period. Initially practiced in Delhi, it later spread to other regions such as Jaipur, and Rajasthan, where it gained prominence and became synonymous with the region's cultural identity. Over the years the craft was kept alive by Her Highness Gayatri Devi who widely promoted Blue Pottery. Technique Blue Pottery is distinguished by its unique technique, which involves a fusion of quartz, powdered glass, multani mitti (Fuller's earth), borax, and sodium sulfate. It is the only pottery technique in the world where clay is not used in the process. Artisans meticulously shape the pottery by hand or on a potter's wheel, allowing them to create various forms such as vases, bowls, plates, and tiles. The pottery is then sun-dried, glazed, and low-fired, resulting in its distinctive blue hues. FAQs Is Blue Pottery durable? Yes, Blue Pottery is relatively durable but can be fragile due to the materials used. It is best suited for decorative purposes and should be handled with care. While it is not as robust as traditional clay pottery, with proper care, Blue Pottery items can last a long time. Can Blue Pottery be customized? Yes, MeMeraki offers customization services for Blue Pottery, allowing customers to choose specific designs, colors, and sizes according to their preferences. Custom Blue Pottery items make for unique, personalized gifts and can be tailored to suit specific decor styles. What makes Blue Pottery unique? Blue Pottery is unique due to its vibrant colors, intricate hand-painted designs, and the absence of clay in its composition. The use of natural minerals for coloring and the traditional glazing technique also set it apart from other forms of pottery. Each piece of Blue Pottery is handmade, making every item distinct and a work of art in its own right.
