Ceramic in India

This type of ceramic is called "blue pottery" and has Turko-Persian origins. It is a kind of pottery that is very famous since the nineteenth century in India in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan.

This indian pottery is based on the use of grounded quartz, a painting by hand and a long and delicate process that has somewhat limited its use for decorative items, like pots, bowls, small drawers, hangers, vases, etc.. This is also the reason why it is a handycraft very original and very valuable.
