Handcrafted Meenakari Curio - White Elephant. A symbol of strength, wisdom, and royalty, this handcrafted Meenakari Elephant Curio carries with it the splendor of India’s regal craft traditions. Meenakari, the ancient art of enameling on metal, flourished in the royal courts of Rajasthan and Persia, where it adorned palaces, temples, and jewels with radiant brilliance. Crafted on gold, silver, or copper, artisans fuse powdered glass with fire to create intricate motifs in jewel-like colors that never fade. Once reserved for thrones, jewelry, and ritual objects, the craft today extends to brass, wood, and other contemporary surfaces—yet retains its timeless aura, each piece a luminous confluence of artistry, patience, and heritage.

Meenakari Art
Meenakari is the art of coloring and ornamenting the surface of metals by fusing over it brilliant colors that are decorated in an intricate design. The Mughals invented the art of enamel or meenawork metal-craft and it was popular with both the Mughals and the Hindu princes of Rajasthan. Gold has been used traditionally for Meenakari Jewellery as it holds the enamel better, lasts longer and its luster brings out the colors of the enamels. Silver, a later introduction, is used for artifacts like boxes, bowls, spoons, and art pieces while Copper which is used for handicraft products was introduced recently. The traditional process starts with the designer, moves on to the goldsmith, the engraver who engraves the design, the enamelist who applies the colour , the polisher, the stone-setter and the stringer, all of whom are ingredients of an important chain of craftsmen that create the finished product..
