The Kumbhars, the
potters are mythological descendents of Rudrapal who was created by
Lord Shiva. Pottery has the longest linage probably from Harappan era
of 2500 BC. Pottery is not localized to a single place in Rajastan. The
art varies from region to region. The blue glazed pottery of Jaipur
traditionally linked with China, Persia came to Rajasthan through the
Maghals. In the Pottery art, the pieces are decorated with legends,
floral motifs, animals and other designs with cobalt and copper oxide
and with a glazing coat are baked in the Kiln for a day or two. |
