The absence of clay is what distinguishes blue pottery from traditional pottery. Quartz stone powder, powdered glass, borax, gum, Multani mitti (fuller's earth), and water are used to make the dough.
The traditional patterns and motifs in blue pottery are of Persian origins. The craftsmen have developed contemporary patterns too including floral, geometric designs, animals, birds as well as many deities like Goddess 'Durga' and Lord 'Ganesh'. The process of making blue pottery is tedious and time-consuming.
The art of blue pottery dates back to the evolution of human civilization.
