| Historical context | Delhi fritware was produced from about the 1870s onwards and was formed in moulds or raised by hand as the pieces were made of ground feldspar mixed with gum or starch which did not allow it to be thrown on a wheel. See Watt, Sir George, Indian Art at Delhi: being the Official Catlogue of the Delhi Exhibition, 1902-03, Calcutta, n.d., pp. 90-91 |
