- Lot Description
Middle East, Syria (Raqqa / Rakka), ca. 12th to 13th century CE. Wow! A beautiful, delicate bowl, with a narrow, tall foot and a flaring body that rises to a wide shoulder, a corseted neck, and a slightly flared mouth. The surface is painted with a large six-sided cobalt blue flower in tondo against a background of startling white that has attained sparkling iridescence with age. The exterior has a more complex motif of vertical blue stripes around the lower body and a ring of dense blue flowers with green leaves around the shoulder. The Syrian city of Raqqa was the home of Harun al-Rashid, Abbasid caliph and protagonist of The Thousand and One Nights, and, although he lived during the 9th century, this connection sparked 19th century interest in Raqqa's ceramics. Size: 5.3" W x 3.2" H (13.5 cm x 8.1 cm)
