Although still producing earthen pots and utensils, lack of innovation and inability to use technology has held them back without ever reaching their full potential. These items include terracotta shades, tiles, candle stands, flower vases, coin boxes, wall coverings, wall pots, visiting card boxes and scores of other such products. Potters said they usually begin the process by gathering alluvial soil and mixing it with water. They said that newly-formed pottery items and must be stored in closed rooms for 10-12 days before fire curing, after which they are colored as required and are then delivered to clients. Previously, clients would market the products for the potters, but now they have taken over the marketing process themselves.
