Minakari or Meenakari is the process of painting and coloring the surfaces of metals and ceramic tiles through enameling, originating in the Safavid Iran Dynasty. Minakari art usually involves intricate designs (mainly using geometric shapes and designs), and is applied as a decorative feature to serving dishes, containers, vases, frames, display ornaments, and jewelry. The art form has remained virtually unchanged for hundreds of years and is now commercially produced mainly in Iran, India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
