This Iranian bowl is an accurate copy of a Chinese original in both its shape and its decoration. Here there are lotus sprays on the outside, and the border around the inside of the rim is a distinctive feature of Chinese porcelains made between 1522 and 1566. In the Safavid period (1501-1722) Iranian potters developed new types of fritwares inspired by Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. In fritware, the main ingredient was fine quartz powder made by grinding sand or pebbles. Small quantities of white clay and a glassy substance known as frit were added â the clay to give plasticity, the frit to bind the body after firing. Unlike high-fired Chinese porcelain, low-fired fritware was soft and porous, but like porcelain it was white all the way through and could be used to make convincing substitutes.
