Rs. 12,500
Only available.
A masterpiece of seven centuries of Kashi-kari artistic lineage.
The Story
This vase is hand-painted by Ustad Ghulam Murtaza, a Multan-based master potter whose family has worked in blue pottery for generations. Made from a white clay and quartz paste rather than ordinary clay, the vase is shaped on the wheel before Ustad Ghulam paints the cobalt-glaze florals freehand, working from memory rather than a stencil — a skill passed down through apprenticeship rather than schooling. The finished piece is fired at high heat to fuse the glaze into that signature glassy blue-white surface Multan's potters have been known for since the Mughal era.
