The history of the art of pottery is as old as the history of mankind, with the glazing techniques travelling to India from Central Asia and Middle East through several Islamic invasions. The name ‘blue pottery’ comes from the eye-catching blue dye that is used to color the pottery. Blue colour, derived from cobalt oxide, green derived from copper oxide and white, other non-conventional colors, such as yellow and brown adorn this pottery kind. The traditional patterns and motifs in blue pottery are of Persian origins.
