About This Piece
This exquisite blue pottery vase is a masterpiece of Jaipur's centuries-old craft tradition. Each piece is hand-shaped on a potter's wheel and then meticulously hand-painted with traditional floral and geometric motifs using natural cobalt blue and turquoise dyes.
The distinctive blue pottery of Jaipur is unique in that it uses no clay — instead, the base is made from quartz stone powder, powdered glass, and Multani Mitti (Fuller's earth). This gives the pottery its characteristic lightweight feel and translucent quality.
Perfect as a standalone statement piece or as a beautiful vase for dried flowers and branches. Each piece may vary slightly in pattern and color, making it truly one-of-a-kind.

Marketplace notes
Handmade pieces may vary slightly from listing photos, which is part of their character rather than a defect.
