| یادداشتها | This ceramic vessel was designed as a vase to display cut-flowers, having a wide neck and four spouted openings on its shoulders. The form was unique to Iranian pottery from the 12th century, and was revived in the 17th century. The idea of spouted vessels for cut-flowers was evidently exported to Europe and copied in the Netherlands at the end of the 17th century. In the mid-19th century the spouts, damaged over time, were repaired with the addition of engraved brass mounts. |

| Fiziksel açıklama | Vase painted in 2 blues. The central and three lesser necks have been mended with incised metal parts in the 19th century. Three tetralobed panels filled with reserve-painted birds amidst small clouds fit on the shoulder between the lesser necks. Animated scenes run round the body; a spotted buffalo and its broad-hatted rider gallop towards a grand tree with a white trunk on a rocky base. Transitional clouds and small ships lead the eye to the pair of seated figures with hats and low necklines. One of them shows a bare leg. They face a standing figure across a scenery of islands and boats. Two lower bands of lotus panels and a knotted scroll surround the base. |
