- Lot Description
Central Asia or Eastern Iran, Samanid Empire, likely Nishapur, ca. 10th to 12th century CE. This is a fine earthenware bowl with abstract green and brown motifs atop a white glaze known as splash-sgraffito on the bowl's interior. The exterior is unglazed, with limited areas of green slip around the rim, and the piece rests on a petite ring foot and the thick walls curve inward. As the name suggests these splash-sgraffito pottery pieces were painted with dashes of green, ochre yellow, and brown pigments to create seemingly random pattern, covered with a transparent glaze, and during firing the pigments would run, creating a "splashed" surface. Size: 5.5" Diameter x 2" H (14 cm x 5.1 cm)
This bowl was part of the Ebrahim Rokhsar collection, an esteemed collector with similar pieces gifted to the Brooklyn Museum in his honor, please see Brooklyn Museum website accession number: 1995.187.5.
Provenance: Whisnant Gallery, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA acquired prior to 2000; ex-Ebrahim Rokhsar collection
