- Lot Description
Western Asia, Samarkand region (sometimes Samarqand, Transoxiana), ca. 15th century CE. An incredible, well preserved ceramic vessel glazed with gorgeous bright blue and black. It stands on a diminutive disc-shaped foot, then steps outward to a flared, steep body with a thin, flared rim. Along the blue body, black, fern-like motifs are painted in vertical registers separated by thin black lines; horizontal lines encircle the rim and short neck. Size: 4" W x 3.1" H (10.2 cm x 7.9 cm)
Timur (Tamerlane) founded the Timurid Dynasty around 1370 CE, making his capital in Samarkand. He quickly conquered vast swaths of Central Asia, Iran, Iraq, southern Russia, and even parts of the Indian subcontinent. This vast empire defeated the Mamluks and the Ottomans, but Timur died before his plans to invade China came to fruition. Aside from his brutal conquests, Timur created a legacy of outstanding Islamic artwork by bringing artists from all over his empire to Samarkand. The later Timurid capital of Herat continued the tradition and the pottery and metalwork made there was traded along the Silk Road and highly valued beyond the boundaries of the empire.
Provenance: private California, USA collection, by descent, moved from Germany in 1997, originally collected in the 1970s in Hamburg, Germany
