A SAMANID SLIP-PAINTED POTTERY BOWL - Nishapur, or Central Asia, Ca. 11th - 12th century AD . A pottery bowl thrown in a conical shape with a narrow foot and wide flaring rim. The use of a creamy engobe beneath a transparent glaze results in a smooth, slightly glossy finish, giving the surface a refined yet earthy character. Though simple in form, the bowl’s decoration reflects a sophisticated visual rhythm, aligning with the period’s aesthetic that favours geometric clarity and calligraphic elegance.Size: 280mm x 110mm; Weight: 895gProvenance: Previous property of a UK based Islamic art professional.
