This technique was used to decorate the Bikaner screen at the Raj Newas Hall at the Indo Colonial Exhibition. It was also used to decorate a large hall in the palace of the Maharaja. The craft was influenced by the intervention of Mrs Talbot, the wife of Major A C Talbot the Political Agent at Bikaner in the late 19th century, who gave the craftsmen white earthen vessels of different well known forms instead of the old sauce or beer bottles, metal cans, sheets of tin forming the backs of bazaar mirrors, bedstead legs, etc that they used to lacquer.
