ملاحظات
This ewer is an example of the decorative effects created with a single colour glaze and incised decoration. The technique was used by potters during the reign of the Safavid dynasty in Iran (1501-1732). In the 16th century, ceramic production in Iran was on a modest scale. When the capital moved to Isfahan around 1600, the production of luxury dishes and wall tiles in a wide variety of styles and techniques rapidly increased. There was no particular centre of ceramic production. The potters employed many techniques, including underglaze painting, coloured glazes and the use of lustre, which was revived after 1650.
