Blue Pottery
An art form, from Persia under the patronage of Maharaja Ram singhji was first
introduced in Rajasthan. A new art form with a fascinating recipe of distinctive
material like the ground quartz stone. The colour schemes are also peculiar
like, blue (oxide of cobalt), Green (oxide of copper) and the external white.
Some of the pottery is semi- translucent and lately is been experimented
with other colours such as , yellow, dark blue and brown. The conventional
floral or arabesque, hand made patterns and the animal figure patterns are
the prominent designs. The various articles shaped out are mostly the traditional
ones like surahis or pots of different shapes and size for multiple use, ashtray,
tiles, flower pots, lamp shades, jars various accessories or interior items
are the forte of this art of pottery.
