The art of enameling



Enameling is an art with a history of about five thousand years, which has been used to beautify various ornaments and dishes. This art is a combination of fire and earth, which is mixed with the art of painting and creates beautiful patterns.

The closest literal meaning for Mina is blue sky. Enamel is an art where different designs, usually with a white pen, are engraved on copper, silver and gold dishes..

The color of the background under the motifs is usually blue, green, and sometimes red, which, if we look at the interior of enamel vessels with the eyes of art, reminds us of the beautiful expanse of the blue sky.. Maybe that is why the name of this art is called Mina Kari.
