Notes
This bowl is inscribed with a saying in Arabic. It reads, âThe fool never receives the reproaches he deserves, but the wise man does who keeps him companyâ. The moral tone matches the austere character of the decoration. This piece is an example of a distinctive ceramic tradition that developed in eastern Iran from the 10th century. Potters there took their inspiration from indigenous metalwork and applied decoration in slip (liquid clay) of contrasting colours.
