Khurja pottery is made in abundance in UP, India. A two hour drive from the capital, is well known for its inexpensive but tough tableware. Produced on a mass scale, fired at high temperatures, these pottery items retain their mud colour and are in great demand. I have seen some of those in the expo's around Mumbai. But if these mugs have lead content in them then they are not fit for consumption.
Love the colors used here
Isn't the soup bowl adorable?

I've driven by Khurja a couple of times long ago, but have never seen the beautiful stuff in the first pic. It's so refreshing & vibrant!
