Blue Pottery


Today, India is the home of glazed Blue Pottery, which has its origin in Persia. Its distinctive feature is that no clay is used. It is used out of a mixture of Fuller's earth, Quartz and Sodium Sulfite. The special turquoise blue and deep blue color comes with addition of other inorganic oxides.

The blue pottery articles like vases, pots and jars, lampstands and many more, are decorated with traditional and arabesque motifs of animals, birds & flowers and are a shopper or collector's delight.
