Enamel is basically done on copper, but it can also be done with gold and silver objects. Gold is the only metal which does not oxide when the enamel is melt; therefore, it always provides the capability of implementing detailed and precise patterns on enamel while on copper and silver enamels the result is not of the same quality. The colors used in enamels are classified in three groups: herbal colors, mineral colors, and metal colors.

It is not easy to determine the date the enamel became popular in Iran, but some assume its history dating back up to around 5,000 years. No enamel is currently available belonging to the pre-Safavid era, and nor are there any considerable sample from the Safavid period. In the Qajar era enamel was rare and the enameled objects mainly include different parts of hookahs such as head or topper part, jugs, and funnel.

In the present time in Iran, the major center of making the enameled objects is the city of Isfahan, and some prominent craftsmen are active in this field by producing enamels based on the painting enamel style.

•  Earth and Furnaces Enamel, Brilliant Art of Fire,
  
• Enamel refers
  to the art of painting and decorating metals such as gold, silver and copper
  (and sometimes glass and ceramics which is also called as vitreous enamel or
  porcelain enamel) with opaque or transparent colorful material; and, indeed, it
  can be considered as an experimental or laboratorial art which consists of a
  series of complex interactions and the final product is a decorated object
  which, once heated, is brought by combination of metal oxides and salts. This
  is why this is called a brilliant art of fire, earth and furnaces.
  

The art of Minakari or Enamelling is called miniature of fire as well as the decoration of metal and tile with Mina glaze. Minakari or Enamelling is the art of painting, colouring and ornamenting the surface of metals by fusing over it brilliant colours that are decorated in an intricate design.

Mina is the feminine form of Minoo in Persian, meaning heaven. Mina refers to the Azure colour of heaven. The Iranian craftsmen of Sasanied era invented this art and Mongols spread it to India and other countries. French tourist, Jean Chardin, who toured Iran during the Safavid rule, made a reference to an enamel work of Isfahan, which comprised a pattern of birds and animals on a floral background in light blue, green, yellow and red.
