Saleem and his late wife started their ceramic business decades ago. Each of his five sons (he has no daughters) specializes in a different aspect in the art of ceramics. Due to the volatile political situation, they can no longer count on the local market; they depend on foreign buyers.

Blue Floral Ceramic Mug also available.
