Notes
This bowl is an example of the striking decoration Iranian potters could create with glazes of a single colour and moulded or carved decoration. Here the ceramicist has achieved a beautiful striped effect by incising through the green glaze to reveal the white body beneath. 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 does not appear to have been a particular centre of production. The techniques included underglaze painting, coloured glazes and lustre.
