• GI-tagged craft: quartz-based Egyptian-paste ceramic (no clay), fired once, in cobalt blues and turquoise
• It's fragile and NOT food-safe unless explicitly certified — traditional glazes were decorative; ask before using for serving
• Bubble-wrap heavily and hand-carry; breakage is the real cost
• Bargain in bazaars, not at the heritage houses (fixed price, better firing quality)
