Firoozeh Koobi (Persian: فیروزه کوبی; Firouze Koobi, or Firuzehkubi) is an Iranian handicraft made of a copper vessel that is covered with inlayed turquoise stone.[1] It is one of the most popular souvenirs of Isfahan.[2] Although the technique has a short history (less than 100 years), due to the use of precious stones and the design it is highly valued.[3][4]
