Handcrafted Blue Pottery Elephant Showpiece – 7 Inch

This elephant stands seven inches tall and is made entirely by hand in the Jaipur Blue Pottery style, a craft practised in Rajasthan using techniques passed down over centuries. The surface is hand-painted with the traditional floral patterns that give the pottery its name, worked in blue against a pale ground.

In Indian homes the elephant is kept as a symbol of good luck, wisdom, prosperity and positive energy, which makes it a common choice for a shelf, console or entryway. Being hand-formed and hand-painted, each piece carries small variations in line and shading from the artisan's brush.
