Notes	A distinctive class of Safavid ceramics is distinguished by moulded decoration and rich glazes. Outlines in raised relief serve to keep apart, more or less successfully, the opaque coloured glazes. The use of opqaue glazes gives the colours a pastel tone that gives the group their distinct character. The range of shapes is also distinctive, mostly sprinklers and pouring vessels.
