“Our hands may be calloused, but what we create with them touches hearts across continents.” — Vimal Prajapat, second-generation blue pottery artisan
In the age of fast fashion and mass-produced décor, there’s a quiet revolution brewing in a small village called Kot Jewar, Rajasthan. A revolution rooted in tradition, resilience, and the sheer craftsmanship of Indian artisans.
Meet the story of Ramnarayan Blue Art Potteries, a humble family-run business turning local clay-free pottery into global admiration of exporting beauty to homes in New York, California, Canada, and even the Netherlands.
And as we share their journey, we also invite you to become a part of a larger movement—to bring handcrafted, meaningful art into your life through SnehaCrafts.com.
🎨 A Craft That Refused to Die
At just 15 years old, Ramnarayan Prajapat left his village to learn the fading art of Jaipur blue pottery in Jodhpur. He returned with more than just skills—he brought back hope.
With no capital and a family to feed, he started crafting in 1980 from his village home. Years later, his sons Vimal and Nand Kishore have taken the mantle forward, using digital tools and social media to spread their father’s vision to the world.
💬 “Our family was poor, my grandfather a farmer. But blue pottery gave us purpose—and a future,” says Vimal.
🌐 From Kot Jewar to the World
How does a rural family business reach customers in California or Amsterdam?
The answer is the internet.
With a website, social media, and listings on platforms like Amazon, Ramnarayan Blue Art Potteries has built a loyal international following. In fact, they recently fulfilled a ₹2 crore order from the Netherlands—a milestone that wasn’t just about revenue, but pride.
“My father isn’t tech-savvy, so my brother and I manage exports and marketing. The digital world changed our lives,” Vimal shares.
🖐️ The Magic of Clay-Free Blue Pottery
Unlike traditional ceramics, blue pottery uses no clay. Instead, it’s crafted from:
Quartz powder
Multani mitti (Fuller’s Earth)
Natural gum and water
This makes every piece lightweight, fragile, and incredibly detailed.
You’ll find:
✨ Flower pots
✨ Hanging plates
✨ Bathroom sets
✨ Soap cases, trays, and planters
While the craft began with only blue hues, today it boasts yellows, greens, and baby blues—each shade whispering tales of India’s artistic soul.
💪 Impact Beyond Commerce
This isn’t just about pottery—it’s about people.
Ramnarayan Blue Art Potteries now employs over 250 rural artisans, many of them women, creating a sustainable ecosystem of income and empowerment.
“Students visit to learn. Tourists come to witness. We’re not just reviving an art—we’re rebuilding a community.”
🏆 Recognized, Rewarded, and Rooted in Purpose
In 2019, the brand was recognized among 41 top home-grown MSME brands by YourStory and the Ministry of MSME, Government of India.
They credit much of their growth to MSME training programs, which not only teach craft enhancement but also offer access to buyers and exhibitions.
“MSME is a great platform, but more rural training is the need of the hour,” Vimal says.
