Set of 3 Hand-Painted Persian/Jaipur-Style Tiles – Horse & Elephant, Cobalt Ground
Charming trio of Jaipur blue‑pottery tiles featuring a prancing horse and a richly trapped elephant on deep cobalt blue grounds, with a larger lotus‑bordered horse tile. Hand‑painted under a glossy clear glaze in the classic Rajasthan palette of cobalt, emerald and saffron. Jaipur’s blue‑pottery tradition blends Persian and Mughal influences and was revived by master potters in the 20th century—these are lovely examples with real folk‑art character.

Historical Context
Historical Context
Jaipur blue pottery derives from Persian/Mughal ceramic traditions introduced to North India in the 17th–18th centuries and revived in Jaipur workshops in the 20th century (notably after the mid‑century efforts of Kripal Singh Shekhawat). Small tiles like these were produced for the tourist and decorator market and often used as coasters or for framing.
