Vintage British Indian Art Artist Drawn Tuck's Oilette Old Post card, India, Ethnic Life. A Native Potter Hookah Shisha, Man, Worker. Pots.
The Native Potter is a familiar figure in the streets of Indian towns. He places the clay on a pole, which is sunk a couple of feet in the ground, and keeping this revolving on its axis with a continuous motion of his feet, he deftly moulds the whirling clay into the required shape. Omar Khayyam speaks of "stopping by the way, to watch a potter thumping his wet clay.".
Background Information: Hookah or Shisha is a often glass-based water pipe device for smoking. Originating in India, it has gained popularity, especially in the Arab World. A hookah operates by water filtration and indirect heat. It can be used for smoking herbal fruits.
