Blue pottery is widely recognized as a traditional craft of Jaipur. The name \u2018blue pottery\u2019 comes from the eye-catching blue dye that is used to color the pottery. Some of the pottery is semi-transparent and most are decorated with animal and bird motifs. The pottery is made using Egyptian paste, is glazed and low-fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue pottery as a technique was mostly used to produce decorative items such as tiles, door knobs, pots, vases and plates. But now, the uses have evolved to include functional articles such as ashtrays, narrow mouth, beer mugs, candle stands, hukkah, coasters, various animal shapes, incense stick holders, jugs, napkin rings, pen holders, soap dishes, trays, trinket boxes, wall hangings, bathroom sets, tumblers and containers with lids etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blue pottery is different from other pottery because it is the only pottery in the world that does not use clay. The \u2018dough\u2019 for the pottery is prepared by mixing quartz stone powder, powdered glass, Multani Miti (Fuller\u2019s Earth), borax, gum and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another source cites \u2018Katira Gond\u2019 powder (a gum), and \u2018Saaji\u2019 (soda bicarbonate) as ingredients. The pottery has a distinct appearance as it is made out of Egyptian paste, glazed and low-fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
