Blue pottery is widely recognized as a traditional craft of Jaipur. The name ‘blue pottery’ comes from the eye-catching blue dye used to colour 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 and is glazed and low-fired.

Blue pottery is different from other pottery because it is the only pottery in the world that does not use clay. The ‘dough’ for the pottery is prepared by mixing quartz stone powder, powdered glass, Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth), borax, gum and water. Another source cites ‘Katira Gond’ powder (a gum), and ‘Saaji’ (soda bicarbonate) as ingredients. The pottery has a distinct appearance as it is made out of Egyptian paste, glazed and low-fired.
