Notes
The different forms of blue and white ceramics seem to have developed in Kerman: the formal models of the figures were carved using the sgraffito technique in thickly painted blue glaze. The two medallions filled with arabesques are the only decoration on the bowl and are beautifully highlighted by the distinctive color contrast. Some of the remaining pieces of this group of ceramics are distinctive because of the precise form of the decoration, and the blue background is also supposed to represent the sky.
