Traditional Persian Minakari Hookah
The Traditional Persian Hookah, Made the Old Way
A traditional Persian hookah is as much a piece of the home as it is a smoking device, and this handmade example shows why. Crafted from premium clay and oven-baked for durability, it carries the classic Shah Abbasi design in black and green, hand painted in the manner of Minakari decoration. Standing 60 cm tall, this hookah works beautifully both as a functional piece and as a striking element of Persian decor.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Rich Tradition
An Persian Hookah Shaped by Skilled Hands
Each piece is shaped and painted by artisans who have inherited their techniques across generations, then oven-baked to give the clay body strength and longevity. The Shah Abbasi motifs set against black and green are a hallmark of classical Persian artistry, and because everything is done by hand, no two hookahs are ever quite identical. For anyone seeking an authentic Persian hookah rather than a factory reproduction, that individuality is the point.
A Clay Hookah that Balances Use and Display
The premium clay construction provides a sturdy, heat-resistant base for regular sessions, while the 60 cm height helps cool the smoke and gives the piece proper presence in a room. Between gatherings it stands comfortably on a shelf or sideboard as decor in its own right.
