The differences between craft production in cities like Calcutta and Thanjavur were: 

  • Craft production in cities like Calcutta was formally organized and planned by the European companies. In Thanjavur, the crafts persons were independent. 
  • Crafts persons in Calcutta were not free to sell their own crafts and textiles whereas in Thanjavur, the crafts persons were free to sell their products. 
  • In Calcutta, crafts persons worked on a system of advances and in Thanjavur, crafts were developed on interest. 
  • The crafts persons at Calcutta had to reproduce the designs supplied to them by the Company agents. 
  • Merchants and artisans (such as weavers) in Calcutta were moved into the Black Towns established by the European companies within new cities. They were not as free as the crafts persons at Thanjavur.
