J. Catma Mughal Flower Block Print Napkins - Set of 2

$19.95

Block printed by hand by artisans in India, this set of two 20-inch-square Mughal Flower Block Print napkins features a stunning floral pattern in a shade of blue called delft, a dark hue named for a Dutch city famed for its patterned earthenware. The design is exclusive to this particular cohort of artisans in Rajasthan who only craft it for J. Catma, so you’d be hard pressed to find other hand-made pieces that could compare. We love them as an easy way to dress up your dining table and add a touch of color.

How to use

Celebrating centuries of craftsmanship.

J. Catma supports artisans in India as they produce goods in small batches, so they can continue the tradition of their crafts—like block-printing. Rising to prominence during the Mughal empire and still popular in Rajasthan, block printing is a painstaking process. Each wooden block is carved by hand before being soaked in oil to soften the grain so it better holds onto the dye. Once the fabric is prepared for printing, the blocks are dipped into dye and gently pressed into the fabric to create a repeating pattern.
