ملاحظات
Bowl, tin-glazed earthenware with an opaque white glaze, Egypt, 900-1050.
Tarihsel bağlam
This bowl is an example of the early tin-glaze production in Egypt. Its white opaque glaze and shape of a deep well with flared rim imitates Chinese wares that were imported en masse into Iraq in the 9th century. Chinese white wares and porcelains were much admired for their purely white bodies. Islamic potters soon experimented to produce wares of a similar 'whiteness'. They developed a white opaque glaze, by adding tin-oxide to the glaze, which covered the earthenware body after being fired. This new technique started in Iraq and spread across the Islamic lands and into Europe where it dominated the ceramics production for many centuries.
