🇦🇲Happy 35th Independence Day to our eternal Armenia!

Շնորհաւոր Անկախութեան տօն մեր յաւերժական Հայաստանին։ 🇦🇲

This plate depicting the Armenian Coat of Arms was made in the 1930s by the joint Balian-Karakashian workshop, established by Neshan Balian Sr. and Mgrditch Karakashian, founders of the Armenian Ceramics of Jerusalem, together with David Ohanessian in 1919.

The central motif is Noah's Ark perched on Mount Ararat; fitting for the world's first Christian nation.

Only two were made: one is in our museum in Jerusalem, and the other was donated to the Dzidzernagapert Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex.

A Jerusalem Heritage Masterpiece for Houston, Texas

We are delighted to present this concept tile mural created for a discerning client in Houston, Texas.

Thank you, Jonathan, for entrusting the Balian Armenian Ceramics Studio with this exceptional addition to your swimming pool area. The composition originates from the treasured sketches of renowned ceramic artist Marie Balian, preserved within our historic studio collection and now being brought to life for a new generation.

The mural will be reproduced on 6 × 6-inch high-quality porcelain tiles, combining the character of traditional hand-painted Armenian ceramics with the strength, water resistance, and durability required for an outdoor pool environment.

Created in Jerusalem and destined for Texas, this bespoke mural represents more than decoration. It is a meeting of art, architecture, heritage, and craftsmanship—transforming a swimming pool into a distinctive and timeless space.

More than 100 years of ceramic excellence from the Balian Armenian Ceramics Studio of Jerusalem.

When a discerning client asks for something truly one of a kind, we answer in porcelain.

We are proud to unveil our latest custom waterline pool tile project, handcrafted for a distinguished client in the United States. Every tile was designed, glazed, and fired to bring a singular vision to life along the water's edge.

Porcelain is the finest choice for waterline installations: exceptionally durable and resistant to fading, frost, and chemical wear. Paired with our bespoke hand-painted patterns, the result is a pool that is not simply built but composed. Timeless Balian Armenian ceramic craftsmanship meets modern luxury, with no two projects ever alike.

Some kitchens have a backsplash. This one has a rich heritage
Hand-painted, tile by tile, in our Jerusalem studio, this installation features our 15x15 cm Persian Dark Blue series—a deep cobalt palette and intricate medallion patterns drawn from centuries of Armenian ceramic tradition. No two strokes are identical, because no two tiles are. The result is a wall that doesn't just complement your kitchen; it anchors it with the kind of artistry that machines can't fake and trends can't date.
Crafted by the Balian Studio of Jerusalem. Made to outlast the fashion that surrounds it.
