    Product Description & Specifications

    Title

    This charming colourful Indian pot would make a perfect trinket pot or decorative ornament. It's in good condition and has retained its bone finial making it a real collector's piece. This example is from Rajasthan and would have been used for storing bindi (the red powder that Indian ladies apply to the forehead).

    Lacquering is done by the craftsman on a hand-powered lathe by pressing coloured sticks of lac against the wooden pot. As the pot revolved, the heat generated softened the lac and a thin lacquer of colour was deposited on the wood. Quite intricate designs can be created by the craftsman using different techniques.
