Gujrat has been a centre of blue-glazed pottery production for generations, and the workshops that produce it are scattered through the city and in the surrounding villages. The distinctive cobalt blue and turquoise glazes on white earthenware — applied by hand in floral and geometric patterns — have a strong Persian influence, and the tradition is closely related to the blue pottery produced in Multan and, further back, in the Persian ceramic workshops of Kashan.
You can visit working pottery workshops in the city, where craftsmen throw pots on foot-powered wheels and apply glazes by hand before firing in wood-fuelled kilns. Several workshops sell direct, and the prices are very reasonable by any standard — a properly made Gujrat pot costs a fraction of what equivalent craft pottery sells for in Lahore. If you are travelling onward, the pottery is worth buying here rather than in a city shop, where it will have been marked up significantly.
