Label Art Story

The 2022 label draws inspiration from a mid-19th century tile originating from Tehran, Iran, now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Rendered in vibrant blue over white, the design features a chevron motif reminiscent of silk ikat weaving, an ancient technique known for its intricate patterns and fluid movement. Though crafted from earthenware, the design evokes the softness and motion of fabric, embodying the artistry and innovation central to Persian heritage.
