Hand Painted Jaipur Blue Pottery Soap Dish

This beautiful floral soap dish is kiln-fired and hand-painted by deft artisans. Instead of common clay, a 'dough' for the  pottery is prepared by combining quartz stone powder, powdered glass, fullers earth, borax, gum and water. It is slow-fired to meticulously bring the dough and the glazes together. Firing is the process of introducing an object to a high temperature, to a point that the raw materials mature and bake. Once the item is baked, the artisan sketches a design by using markers and stencils. A range of brushes of varying thickness and a host of permanent dyes are employed to create intricate and exclusive hand-painted designs. Traditional motifs, figurines, patterns, and floral designs are the most prized designs on these items. Lively colors, especially cobalt blue dyes are used to impart a distinct and eye-catching look to the product. The handicrafts and colors are reminiscent of the distinctive aesthetic appeal of Rajasthani artwork
