| Description |
This extraordinary bowl characterizes Sultanabad
wares in every way. Its shape is exquisitely bowl
like, a thicker (and often they are more angular
than pre-Mongol pieces). We see here the loose
spotted and speckled painting, the jumbled
background of turquoise, blue and white colored
foliage against a stone grey shaded backdrop.
The crème in relief is the color of the fritware
itself, beneath the glaze
A charming and authentic characteristic seen
repeatedly in this genre, the thick glaze has a
tendency for decay. Fortunately this example of
the genre is wonderfully preserved and the
colors have withstood the tribulations of time.
