Gifts are always very precious. They tell your dear ones how much you care for them. And when a gift speaks for you, you must choose it carefully. It must have some meaning, some traditional values and of course a saga of creation. All these qualities are met when you choose an Indian handmade gift and collectible. For all occasions, you will be delighted that you gave them a piece of art, which was created diligently by some unknown talented hands thousands of miles away from them. A gift that your near and dear ones will treasure forever for its natural rustic look that delights the basic man and nature relationship.Bihar, one of the poorest states in India, has also one of richest cultural heritage. Gaya, one of the districts of Bihar, where Lord Buddha achieved his enlightenment, has a community of craftsmen that make their living by making stoneware pottery. The typical stone used is found locally, is granite like hard, and looks soft like marble. These stoneware pottery are made in different shapes like fruit tray, soup bowls, ash tray etc. It is amazing how a craft that has been handed down through generations since ancient times, finds its place in modern homes. |
