- Lot Description
Western Asia, Persia (Iran), Nishapur area, ca. late 10th century to early 13th century CE. A stunningly glazed ceramic jar with a deep bowl, a low, disc-shaped base, a wide, out-turned rim, and a small handle on one side. The glaze is an incredibly beautiful blue, especially in the interior of the vessel, where it has pooled most deeply. Looking down into this vessel is reminiscent of looking into a pool in a Persian garden. Size: 7.9" W x 4.25" H (20.1 cm x 10.8 cm)
Nishapur was a center of politics and culture in medieval Persia, and their pottery is some of the most unique and beautiful we see from this time period. These turquoise items are the result of technological innovation at the end of the 10th century. The body of this plate and others of its style is made of finely ground quartz mixed with clay; this created a white surface on which the artists could paint designs directly. The glaze is alkaline, with a copper base to give it its color, and would be poured over the clay. These pieces may have been inspired by the blue and white glazed pottery that travelled the Silk Road from Tang Dynasty China, but the end result here is clearly not just an imitation, but an entirely different, radical style developed in Nishapur.
