The silver filigree artisans of Cuttack make magnificent utility and decorative items. With their skills and imagination they add incredibly high value to silver. Today the silver filigree handicraft tradition is at the cross road. Low wage and uncertain future compel artisans to switch over to other professions. Today hardly 15 genuine artisans survive in Cuttack. The handicraft was once exported to foreign countries. Quality silver filigree craft still has demand both in domestic and foreign market. But, the number of skilled artisans who make quality items has reduced. It is very essential for the craft lovers, Government and local people to save the handicraft tradition. The craft has immense potential to generate foreign currency, income and employment for the local people.
