Notes
This bowl is an example of a distinctive ceramic tradition that developed in eastern Iran from the 10th century. Potters there took inspiration from indigenous metalwork and applied decoration in slip (liquid clay) of contrasting colours. Coloured slips were used to create bold designs based on plants, interlace and other patterns. With this large bowl, for example, the potter has used white dots to bring life to the interlace pattern in the centre.
