Surya means sun, and this plate keeps one burning in the house. Fat yellow sunflowers open across a ground of firozi turquoise, the colour Jaipur blue pottery is named for, while a thin white vine stitches the blooms together. Every stroke is laid down freehand with a squirrel-hair brush on quartz dough - not clay - then glazed and fired the way the city has done it for two centuries. Nine inches square, it works as a catch-all by the door, a stand for the evening diya, or simply colour where a corner needs it. On grey mornings it argues for summer, and it usually wins.
