This ceramic ewer shows how Iranian potters used both imported Chinese ceramics and local metalwork as models for their work. The piece has the same decorative shape as some contemporary brass ewers. However, the blue-and-white decoration, with its dragons, storks and monsters, imitates that seen on Chinese porcelain. Iranian potters had long drawn on both sources for models for their wares. They continued to do so during the Safavid period (1501-1722), when this piece was made.
