Abstract:Lacquered brassware in Rajasthan is traced to the 16th century, and received the patronage of Maharaja Ram Singh of Jaipur and his successors. A variety of common decorative and utility articles are produced by this industry, with traditional designs. The work is classified into fine, medium, and crude. The motifs commonly used are mentioned. The processes involved in lacquered brassware are moulding, sheet work, engraving, lacquering, scraping, polishing, and sometimes fitting of wooden layers inside boxes. With some innovations, the vast potential export market can be tapped.
