An art form, from Persia under the patronage of Maharaja
Ram singhji was first introduced in Rajasthan. A new art
form with a fascinating recipe of distinctive material
like the ground quartz stone. The colour schemes are
also peculiar like, blue (oxide of cobalt), Green (oxide
of copper) and the external white.
Some of the pottery is semi- translucent and lately is
been experimented with other colours such as , yellow,
dark blue and brown. The conventional floral or
arabesque, hand made patterns and the animal figure
patterns are the prominent designs. The various articles
shaped out are mostly the traditional ones like surahis
or pots of different shapes and size for multiple use,
ashtray, tiles, flower pots, lamp shades, jars various
accessories or interior items are the forte of this art
of pottery. |
