About the artwork:
The artwork you are purchasing is called Mina with a rich old history of around 5000 years. Mina means blue in ancient Persian language and the blue colour in this artwork is a symbol of heaven’s sky. Although blue is the traditional color in this art however, the contemporary Mina handcrafts can be found in a variety of colors these days such as green, grey, pink, etc. Besides the preparation of paint cream, the desired objects which are mainly made of copper are created by hammering and forming. These objects have a long list of shapes including vases, plates, containers, etc. After forming the objects they should be cleaned thoroughly before being covered with a white enamel coating. The cleanness of the surface is very important at this stage since very minor dirt or even hand oil or moisture could cause a crack in the final product. The enameled object then is baked in the furnace at around 700° in a few stages.
Where Tradition Meets Functionality
These Minakari bowls are more than just visually striking—they are built for functionality. The enameled coating not only enhances their vivid colors but also ensures lasting durability. Whether used for formal occasions or as a cherished gift, these handmade dishes are a perfect blend of tradition and utility. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, they celebrate the timeless elegance of Persian culture while adding a sophisticated touch to modern dining.
