In Delhi, terracotta pottery, is the one whose products make perfect souvenirs to take home. Some prominent terracotta items include cutwork lamps, long necked surahis (water-pots), gamle (flowerpots), pitchers and cups of all shapes and sizes. To get hold of quality earthenware, check out the Crafts Museum in Pragati Maidan, Dilli Haat and just outside the New Delhi Railway Station.
The art of making blue glaze pottery came to Delhi via Kashmir, the Mughal emperors' favourite retreat, and rolled on to Jaipur. The traditional Persian designs are much more in demand nowadays.
