Skilled ceramic artisans in Jordan create each piece as a whimsical celebration of an ancient symbol dating back to 1500 BC—the protective nazar motif that has safeguarded homes, families, and gatherings across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures for over 3,500 years. Craftspeople meticulously hand-paint the iconic evil eye onto white ceramic, bringing this powerful talisman—used by Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and Ottomans throughout history—into contemporary entertaining with patterns and a striking yellow border that creates eye-catching visual appeal and instant conversation.

This symbol has been revered across cultures as a powerful protective force believed to ward off negative energy, deflect envy, and bring good fortune and blessings to your home and guests. Each delicate brushstroke is applied by hand, requiring exceptional skill and artistic vision to create the intricate patterns that make this so distinctive. The vibrant yellow border adds warmth and contemporary style while the hand-painted design creates a focal point that draws admiring glances and sparks questions—guests will ask about its meaning, admire the craftsmanship, and remember the story you share about this ancient symbol. Because each one is individually hand-painted, slight variations in the patterns, brushwork, and color intensity make every piece uniquely yours—no two are exactly alike, ensuring your piece carries authentic artisan character.

The meaningful choice for the spiritual friend who appreciates protective symbols and cultural traditions, the new homeowner who wants blessings for their space along with beautiful serving pieces, the cultural enthusiast who collects meaningful objects from global traditions, or the conversation-loving host who wants serving pieces that tell stories and spark dialogue. This eye-catching piece adds both cultural significance and contemporary style to your table, ideal for serving canapes at cocktail parties (where the conversation-starting design shines), appetizers at dinner parties (where guests can admire the detail up close), desserts at intimate gatherings (where the yellow border complements sweet treats beautifully), or small bites at cultural celebrations. Also works beautifully as a trinket tray for jewelry, keys, or decorative display on your dresser, vanity, or entryway table—functional art that serves multiple purposes. Perfect as a housewarming gift that offers both beauty and protective blessing, a meaningful present for the friend going through a difficult time who needs symbolic support, a cultural gift for the traveler who collects meaningful objects, or a conversation piece for the host who loves entertaining with stories. Essential tableware for homes seeking appetizer plates with cultural depth and decorative serving dishes that spark meaningful conversations.
