The ancient technique of meenakari, (Persian: میناکاری) paints and colours the surfaces of metals and ceramic tiles through enameling, originating in Safavid Iran. 

The EkiBeki team upskills the Meenakari artisans in Western Maharashtra, using the traditional processes to create designs that are relevant and suitable to our modern lifestyles. Handcrafted by the artisans, they also use the chips leftover after making of the tambat ali/ copper vessels, thus creating a circular economy. 

Every EkiBeki piece you buy goes to support the artisans and their livelihood. It also helps to keep one family retain the ancient lore, that are in danger of getting lost in the mass-produced machine made times we live in.
