Handcrafted White Marble Lidded Pot
This elegant handcrafted white marble pot with lid is a refined representation of India’s timeless Pietra Dura (marble inlay) art, meticulously created by skilled artisans from Agra. Carved from premium-quality natural white marble, the pot features a beautifully rounded body, a perfectly fitted domed lid with knob, and a solid circular base for stability.
The entire surface of the pot is adorned with delicate floral motifs arranged in horizontal ornamental bands, inspired by classical Mughal designs seen in royal palaces and monuments. Each flower, leaf, and vine is carefully inlaid by hand using natural semi-precious stones, forming a vibrant yet harmonious color palette against the soft white marble background.
The smooth polish enhances the natural translucency of the marble while highlighting the brilliance of the inlaid stones. Both decorative and functional, this marble pot can be used as a luxury storage container or as a statement décor piece.
Semi-Precious Stones Used
The intricate inlay work on this marble pot includes the following natural semi-precious stones:
-

-
Lapis Lazuli – Deep blue accents within floral centers
-
Malachite – Green leaves and vine detailing
-
Turquoise – Light blue highlights adding contrast
-

Each stone is hand-cut, shaped, and precisely embedded into the marble surface, ensuring durability and a flawless finish.
