Description

Delve into the depths of Persian legend with these exquisitely handcrafted table vases, a tribute to the ancient art of Minakari (Persian: میناکاری). From the heart of Isfahan, the vases shimmer in the light, capturing tales and whispers of age-old myths. Their design, inspired by the ‘Toranj’ or bergamot, a fruit revered in Persian folklore as one of the “Heaven Fruits”, stands as a symbol of divine beauty and enchantment.

Sculpted meticulously from durable copper, these vases resonate with both historical reverence and modern innovation. Their stature, at a refined height of 25 cm (9.8 inches), holds within it enameling and watercolor painting techniques that have been passed down through generations. The slight curve of their 6 cm (2.3-inch) belly, culminating to a solid 4 cm (1.6-inch) base, is a testament to the artisan’s precision and attention to detail.

But beyond its physical allure, lies an emotion, a passion, a tale. A tale of the artisan who, with hands dipped in hues of history and imagination, breathed life into this Minakari masterpiece. Owning this pair is more than just an aesthetic delight; it’s a journey into the heart of Persia, a dance with its legends, and a salute to the undying spirit of its craftsmen.
