Khurja Pottery- An Art Revived



Khurja pottery is traditional Indian pottery work manufactured in Khurja of the Bulandshahar district in Uttar Pradesh state, India. Khurja pottery has been protected under the Geographical indication (GI) of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement. It is listed at item 178 as "Khurja Pottery" of the GI Act 1999 of the Government of India with registration confirmed by the Controller General of Patents Designs and Trademarks
Khurja considered one of the oldest Pottery Centre’s, was established in the thirteenth century by families of Afghan Potters, who specialised in making glazed tiles and some amount of utility ware. It is a small town in the state of Uttar Pradesh. There are nearly 400 factories here, making ceramic items, such as sanitary goods, electrical goods, tableware and decorative ware.
In the 1970’s the Government upgraded all the existing potteries and modernized the kilns. Today it is the largest producer of utilitarian glazed pottery for the average Indian home. Due to large scale production the pottery is very reasonably priced, this has also increased its demand and helped exports. There is a regular influx of designers, giving new design inputs. The new contemporary designs have improved market prospects, especially in the hospitality industry.
