Image description

the shape of this deep bowl with a rounded flared rim is copied from chinese originals, but the decoration of asymmetrical Kufic script is a purely islamic invention. its sparseness contrasts with the tendency of contemparary luster examples to fill the surface with decoration. the cobalt from which the dark blue color of the script was made had just started to be exported to China-bowl-earthenware blue painting on opaque with glaze-inv.n.16005-IMG_6169
