Alavi’s innovative storytelling techniques and his focus on psychological realism have influenced generations of writers and continue to be studied and celebrated.

Iranian Art Calligraphy Cup…

I love my Iranian art calligraphy cup! The design is elegant and unique, and the quality of the ceramic is excellent. It shipped fast and came in perfect condition. Using this cup feels like a small daily luxury.

Prompt and professional

My recent purchase from Persis was a great experience. The items arrived exactly as they had been advertised and much faster than I had expected. Despite a relatively pricy delivery cost, it worked out much cheaper than getting equivalent items in Australia. I will definitely consider Persis for my next purchase. They even added a couple of fridge magnets, which was a nice touch.
