How it is made
Jaipur blue pottery is made without clay. Ground quartz, glass and fuller's earth are kneaded into a dough, pressed into moulds, painted by hand in cobalt and copper oxides and fired once at a low heat. The craft came to Jaipur by way of Persia and the Mughal court, and the city has made it for a century and a half.
Hand made, so no two are identical. Small differences in the print, the dye and the finish are a record of the process and not a fault.
