A large and interesting ceramic bowl with black and creamy white glaze, dating 9th-10th. cent. A.D. Ceramic bowl, Earthenware, engobe, underglaze slip-painted. The glaze is a nearly complete mulitude of small crackles! Bowls including bold black inscriptions in the so-called kufic angular calligraphy were produced in the important ceramic centers of Nishapur in eastern Iran. The text often contains a proverb in Arabic or a series of wishes. This bowl has got some very complicated caligraphy. The bowl represents the first revival of the traditional art due to the rise of the native Islamic dynasty of the Samanids. A most important bowl that shows the true glory of the simple artful style that owes much to the Sassanian art and to the earlier cultures of the Iran. Size: 240 mm. wide and c. 83 mm. high. Condition: Choice! Nearly intact, very minor restoring for type and period. |
