Blue Pottery came to Jaipur from the land of Mughals (Persia). Mughals brought it to India through Kashmir and with time it spread out, currently, Blue Pottery lodge its feet in Jaipur, Rajasthan & is now well known as Jaipur Blue Pottery. The main reason for the establishment of this Art in Jaipur is the fondness of Jaipur Royals towards the blue pottery Art. Blue pottery flourishes in Jaipur in the regime of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh. Presence of Blue pottery can be seen in the famous palaces and museum of the city.

Blue Pottery took an interesting route in finding its home in Jaipur. His Highness Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II once attended a kite flying session and watched two brothers from Achnera bring down the royal kites of his kite masters. Intrigued, he found the secret; they were potters by profession and had coated their strings with the same blue-green glass that they used for their pots. Sawai Ram Singh II was impressed so he invited the brothers to stay in Jaipur and teach this unique form of glazed pottery at his new art school.

The term ‘Blue Pottery’ comes from the brilliantly bright & eye-catching Persian blue dye used to dye the ceramic.
