PETITE COUPE ronde en faïence à décor en lustre métallique cuivré sur fond
The item was sold for 130 €
Fees include commission and taxes.
SMALL round earthenware CUP decorated with a metallic copper luster on a cream background of a bouquet of flowers radiating. The composition is framed by a thin band of chain. The reverse side bears five escutcheons alternating with herbaceous plant motifs. Iran, Safavid period (1501 - 1722), second half of the 17th century.
Diameter : 20.9 cm (chips, wear)
Lustre ceramics were widely produced in Iran throughout the 12th to 14th centuries, and again from the second half of the 17th century. During the latter period, the style changed and copper became the predominant color used for lustre (sometimes in combination with a blue background). Also in this period, the forms and decorative schemes turned to Middle Eastern influences rather than to China, unlike many other Persian ceramics of the period.
For similar examples, see the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto [No. 950.157.112], and illustrated in Golombek, p. 423, cat. No. 55| and at the Victoria and Albert Museum [No. 986-1883].
