- Lot Description
North Africa, Morocco, Fez region, ca. 19th century CE. A gorgeous pottery bowl known as a mokhfia, presenting a round bottom and thick walls that swoop outwards to a wide rim above a shallow basin, all sitting upon a ring-form base. Adorned in hues of lemon, cobalt, aubergine, viridian, seafoam green, and black atop a white glaze ground, the interior of the elegant vessel features an elaborate floral motif filled and surrounded by vegetal and phytomorphic designs as a stylized, undulating pattern embellishes the rim. Alternatively, the exterior of the vessel exhibits a plain, cream-toned glaze, naturally embellished by areas of lovely craquelure. Mokhfias are used for serving couscous and are pierced through the foot for displaying on a wall when not in use. Size: 14.5" Diameter x 3.6" H (36.8 cm x 9.1 cm)
Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
