Notes
In the 12th century new techniques of decoration on ceramics were introduced. Kashan became one of the main centres for high quality ceramics. This bowl belongs to the so-called 'silhouette ware'. The decoration has been carved through a thick black slip to show the relief on a lighter ground. The final turquoise glazing gives the bowl its black and turquoise colour scheme.
