Isfahan has been the home to artists and masters for a very long time and this has enabled its handicrafts and artifacts to be among the most distinguished items on any list of souvenirs.
One can make a very long list of them, but the most authentic I think would be Mina Kari. So what is Mina Kari? When powdered glass is fused to a substance by firing and being shaped in the process of cooling down, it is called Mina Kari or vitreous enamel and even porcelain enamel, as it is done on different bases.
Different kinds of objects are made in this way that can decorate your houses to the most beautiful and unique fashions. Vases, cups, even dishes and bowls in different sizes and shapes are made in this way. You can also watch the process in the great bazaar of Isfahan done by masters who have learned the craft through generations.
