- Lot Description
Ancient Near East/Western Asia, Persia (Iran), Nishapur or Kashan, ca. late 10th century to early 13th century CE. An exceptionally well preserved mold-made ceramic bowl covered with a beautiful turquoise glaze. The deep bowl sits upon a flared concave foot and its interior surface is decorated with a bas relief woven band motif flanked by linear bands. Thick manganese-based vertical black lines are used sparingly to provide contrast to the turquoise. Size: 5.95" W x 3.2" H (15.1 cm x 8.1 cm)
Nishapur turquoise pieces like this example are the result of technological innovation at the end of the 10th century. The body of this vessel was made of finely ground quartz mixed with clay; this created a white surface upon which the artists could pour the colorful glaze and sometimes paint additional designs. The glaze is alkaline, with a copper base to give it its color, and would be poured over the clay. Manganese creates the black motifs along the rim. Scholars believe that such Nishapur pieces may have been inspired by the blue and white glazed pottery that travelled the Silk Road from Tang Dynasty China; however, the end result was clearly not just an imitation, but rather an entirely different, radical style that developed in Nishapur.
Provenance: private California, USA collection, by descent, moved from Germany in 1997, originally collected in the 1970s in Hamburg, Germany
