Copper dishes have been used for home decoration in Iran since ancient times. Esfahan artists, by combining the art of painting and enamelling with copper, have introduced a type of handicraft called copper paint to the Iranian art market. Copper and Pardaz dishes have gained a popular place among Iranian handicrafts today.
Enamelling is a very old craft with a history of about five thousand years, and this original art goes back to the Sassanid and Parthian periods. This art can be considered one of the creative inventions of mankind. Regarding the meaning of the word Mina, it should be said that it means blue sky. Enamelling is usually done on copper, although gold and copper are also good options for enamelling. Gold is the only metal that is not oxidized when the enamel is melted, and therefore designs with more details than silver and copper are engraved on it.
After glazing the metals, it is time to paint and design on the metals. Painting and painting are done on metals with blue, green and red colours, after which it is placed in a furnace at a temperature of 400 to 500 to stabilize the colours. That is why this art is called the art of earth and fire.
