Unique and beautiful as a curio, this lovely piece of Delhi Blue Art Pottery is an elegant artifact that adds a touch of class wherever it may be placed. Lead-free, Delhi Blue Pottery was a vivid blue art pottery that gradually evolved in the country over the last century, promoted largely by a veteran and pioneer of art pottery in India, Sardar Gurcharan Singh, born in 1896 in Srinagar. A Padma Shree awardee for his contribution in the field of ceramics, he providentially teamed up with Abdullah Mussalman, a descendant of Pathan potters who had come to India in the 13th century, from whom he learned the secret of the blue glaze. Together the Sikh potter who had refined his art in Japan and Korea and the old Pathan craftsman evolved a new idiom of aesthetic that became the signature of what Gurcharan Singh named Delhi Blue Art Pottery, after the famous Delhi blue glaze he so admired. Extraordinarily beautiful results were achieved by adroit dipping and pouring as he enhanced the cool stoneware with subtle and beautiful shades. The beauty of the Delhi Blue Art Pottery piece featured here is an outcome of this amazing craft story. Unlike commercial pottery, in art pottery, each piece is of a different shape, as individual as a painting.
