About
A distinctive glazed pottery craft using no clay at all — instead made from a quartz-based dough — fired to produce a signature cobalt-blue and white finish influenced by Persian and Turko-Mongol ceramic traditions.
Did you know? Despite its name, Blue Pottery contains no clay whatsoever — its unusual dough is made from ground quartz stone, fuller's earth, and glass powder, a technique originally developed in Central Asia and brought to Jaipur under royal patronage in the 19th century.
