All auctions / Asian Art / 9th C. Persian Nishapur Pottery Bowl Bird Motif


Near East / Central Asia, Persia, Nishapur, ca. 9th to 11th century CE. A wheel-thrown pottery bowl featuring a rounded body on a ring-form foot, all enveloped in a rich terracotta-hued slip. The interior presents a charming black slip-painted zoomorphic design of a abstract-bird - likely a peacock - accented with applied white dots and geometric elements. The bird's plumage gracefully curves throughout the basin, surrounded by vegetal scrolls and additional decorative motifs. Such bowls exemplify the artistic sophistication of Islamic Persian ceramics, where abstracted animal forms and polychrome embellishments were used to enliven utilitarian vessels. Size: 7.5" Diameter x 3.25" H (19 cm x 8.3 cm) Item # 194740
