Hues of pottery, a timeless craft tradition of India
From flower pots, terracotta chimes to the thirst quenching ‘Surahi’ and ‘Matki’, pottery as an art and craft form is practiced across the length and breadth of the country, and remains one of the most timeless living craft traditions of India.
Indira (45), a native of Chittorgarh district, Rajasthan has lived in east Delhi for the past few years. A widow and mother of two, she specialises in carving the decorative ‘phool’ or flower-shaped discs in plaster-of-Paris. She also sells toys, kulhars, oil-lamps, mitti ke bartan, and other décor all year round, besides colourful artefacts from Gujarat.
