- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, North / East Iran, Persia, Nishapur, ca. 10th century CE. A beautiful example of a wheel-thrown earthenware bowl bearing elaborate "Tang-splashed" decorations within the deep basin, so-named due to its stylistic resemblance to colorful glazed vessels from the Chinese Tang Dynasty. The vessel presents with a flat base, expanding walls, and a thin, lightly flared rim. The white-slipped basin features incised crosshatched sgraffito motifs in the center that are accentuated by areas of green, orange-yellow, and purple glazed splotches. The interior walls bear six broad palmettes with sgraffito veining and purple frond spots, and colorful Tang-splashed glaze creates a wondrous palette of vibrant hues. Trails of the green, orange-yellow, and purple glaze cascade down the white-slipped exterior walls as an additional decorative element. Size: 12.5" W x 3.75" H (31.8 cm x 9.5 cm)
Another earthenware bowl with similar Tang-splashed glazing and incised sgraffito motifs can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 40.170.18
