Notes
The basic form of water containers that are still in use today dates back to Roman times and has changed slightly over the centuries. While Islamic vessels are sometimes referred to as pilgrims' bottles, it seems that most of them played a role more closely linked to life as water vessels. There are a large number of such unglazed vessels, dating back to the 6th-8th / 12th-14th centuries and attributed to Iran, Syria and Anatolia. There are also some glazed vessels, such as this example, all of which have handles and allow them to be hung.
