Nishapur Ceramics

Lost for more than a century, the art of Nishapur ware is being revived by a team of 3 artisans in Tehran, who have studied the centuries-old technique for more than 20 years.

Made of stone powder and using metal oxides as dyes in a highly involved process, the artisans today use ancient techniques in creating replicas of the original historical designs as well as new interpretations by hand.
