"Despite its Turkish-Persian origin, the dyeing ware is widely recognized as a traditional Jaipur craft. The name ""blue pottery"" comes from the striking blue color used to color the pottery. Persian blue pottery art came from Persia and Afghanistan to Jaipur via the Mugar Court. The dyer is made of quartz, not clay. Materials used include quartz, raw glaze, sodium sulfate, and Multani mitti (Fuller's Earth). Like pottery, it is fired only once. The biggest advantage is that the blue pottery does not crack. In addition, blue ceramic is dense, hygienic, and suitable for everyday use. The pottery is beautifully decorated with a brush by rotating the pot."
