Delhi Blue Art Pottery was started by the late Padmashri Sardar Gurcharan Singh in 1952. Inspired by the blue Persian glaze he saw on his travels on the Silk route, he set up a production and teaching centre for pottery in what is now the heart of Delhi.
Some examples of his production work like ceramic tiles and latticework have been used in public places like : Odeon Cinema at Connaught Place World Wild-life Fund Ford Foundation Shankar’s International Dolls Museum, New Delhi and can be seen and admired even today, almost half a century later. Forty percent of his production was tableware and was extremely popular for daily use in private houses. It marked the beginning of studio pottery in India.

Call for Entry Deadline: February 4, 2012  Exhbition Dates: April 14, 2012 through June 30, 2012
This competition is open all artists over the age of 18. All entries must be teapots composed primarily of ceramic materials completed by the artist within the last three years. Up to three entries may be submitted by each artist for the single registration price. 
This competition is specifically aimed at small teapots. The teapot as a functional item is believed to have originated in China (perhaps the Yixing area) as a personal drinking vessel. As such, teapots were not large. Over time, the form evolved to suit the desires of the users. This show celebrates the origin and diversity of the teapot. In the spirit of these personal, functional items, all teapots entered in this competition shall not exceed a volume of 16 ounces (approximately 500 mL).
