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. |
