Huge and extremely rare serving tray or plate, Iran. Nishapur, 9th.-10th. cent. AD.
The tray, measuring 35 cm, was made during the Samanid dynasty of Nishapur, 892-999 A.D. Earthenware. Outstanding artful decoration in black and red Kufic caligraphy on a white basis glaze. The tray stands on three short legs, which makes it very rare, especially in the size! Condition: Choice! A few limited areas of restoration, early Islamic ceramics of this type and size are always restored to some degree. But in any case nice preservation for the type of item and period! Note the crackles everywhere on this tray - much untouched ancient surface. Provenance: Danish Private Collection. |
