Blue Pottery is Turko-Persian in origin, but today it is immensely popular as one of the beautiful crafts of Jaipur in Rajasthan ( India). It was first developed by Mongol artisans who combined Chinese glazing technology with Persian decorative arts. This technique travelled east to India with early Turkic conquests in the 14th century.
Blue Pottery had expansive potential and should have flourished, but with time the master potters refused to disclose their trade secrets with their fellow workmen so there was an eventual lowering of standards and a steady dying out of the craft.
â??The name 'blue pottery' comes from the eye-catching cobalt blue dye used to color the pottery and is glazed and low-fired. No clay is used...the 'dough' for the pottery is prepared by mixing quartz stone powder, powdered glass, Multani Mitti (Fuller's Easrth), borax, gum
and water. Being fired at very low temperature makes them fragile.
The range of items is primarily decorative, such as ashtrays, vases, coasters, small bowls etc.
