Jaipur Blue pottery

Beaut Blue

Famous for its color blue
This craft is not that new
With rich heritage history
It’s design looks like a mystery

love, creativity & dedication
That’s what goes into its creation
Having feature of being eco-friendly

We have to handle it gently

It’s a Pottery with no clay
everyday artisans work so hard to slay

Pride of Jaipur with variety of range
Still not having enough demand is strange!
