Evil Eye Home Decor

The blue eye that Iranians call nazar does not only belong on a wrist. It has been painted onto plates, tiles and doorways for as long as it has been worn, because the idea behind it is about protecting a place as much as a person. A long look given in envy is thought to unsettle a household, and a blue eye in the room is the quiet answer to that.

Ceramics and tableware

Most of this collection is handpainted ceramic, made by potters working in the tradition of Persian blue and white. There are 30cm platters for a table centre, round serving plates, a bon bon dish for noughl and sweets, and a salt and pepper set. Each piece is painted by hand, so no two eyes look exactly alike.

Coasters and small pieces

Resin coasters bring the same symbol to a coffee table, some paired with whirling dervish and Persian calligraphy motifs. They are the easiest thing to post as a small gift, and they survive the journey well.

Nowruz and the Haft Sin

Two Haft Sin sets in this collection carry the evil eye through the Nowruz table, where the seven symbolic items sit for the thirteen days of the new year. Persian families abroad often buy them once and use them every spring.

Evil eye home decor is a natural housewarming gift, and it travels well as a wedding present. Dimensions and materials are listed on each product page. Everything is packed in London and posted worldwide, with tracked delivery to the UK, the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.
