Sanganer

The Kumawat family has worked quartz-frit pottery since Bhag Chand Kumawat revived the craft in 1965 and opened a Sanganer workshop in 1969, tracing the family's ties to blue pottery back to the era of Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II. Every family member takes part in some stage of the making, producing hand-painted tiles, doorknobs, soap dishes, and tableware alongside decorative pieces.
