Bidspirit auction | A SLIP-DECORATED BROWN GLAZED BOWL,

A SLIP-DECORATED BROWN GLAZED BOWL, POSSIBLY NISHAPUR - Khurasan or Nishapur, Ca. 10th - 11th century AD. A pottery bowl of shallow rounded form on a short, slightly everted foot. The body covered in a warm brown glaze, the interior slip-painted in an abstract radiating design of intersecting curved lines forming a central lozenge motif, framed by arched bands with regularly spaced dot clusters. The decoration reserved in the slip beneath the glaze creating a golden hue against the deeper amber ground, the exterior left largely plain, with minor surface wear and faint craquelure to the glaze. A fine and harmonious example of early Islamic slipware, showcasing the subtle elegance and technical refinement of medieval eastern Iranian ceramic production.Size: 200mm x 70mm; Weight: 480gProvenance: Previous property of a UK based Islamic art professional.
