Jaipur Blue Pottery

Blue pottery is a famous cultural souvenir in Jaipur, known for its electrifying blue color and geometric or floral design. It traces its origins to Persian and Mughal influences, which reached India in the 14th century and flourished under the patronage of Jaipur’s rulers in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, it’s one of the city’s proudest traditions, keeping history alive in every hand-painted piece. The pottery is low-fired and glazed, making it smooth and almost glassy. Although blue pottery is mostly done in a striking blue, artists now incorporate other colors like yellow, green, and a lighter shade of blue. Blue pottery comes in different forms and functions: from egg cups and bowls to beer mugs and vases. Designs vary, but they are usually inspired by nature and geometric patterns. Once a decorative element for palaces, tombs, and temples, you can now own a piece of Jaipur’s history.
