Rajasthan Blue Pottery

The Jaipur blue pottery, made of fuller’s earth, is glazed and low-fired. Some of this pottery is semi-transparent and mostly decorated with animal and bird motifs. The range of items is mostly decorative such as ashtrays, vases, coasters and boxes.

Apart from the usual urns, jars, pots and vases, you can now find tea sets, cups and saucers, plates and glasses, jugs, ashtrays and napkin rings. The colour palette is restricted to blue and green from the oxides of cobalt and copper but white, yellow and brown have emerged too. The common motifs are inspired from Mughal era.
