EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Imported Cobalt-on-White Bowl, believed to have originated from either Iraq or western Iran during the 9th-10th century. Its creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this ancient artifact. The bowl's exquisite craftsmanship is evident in its delicate blue leaf pattern painted on a lustrous opaque white tin glaze. This decorative ceramic piece represents the rich heritage art of Persia, reflecting the artistic influences of Islamic culture prevalent during that era. Displayed in close-up detail, one can appreciate the intricate details and simple beauty of this homeware item. The use of cobalt blue against a pristine white background creates a striking contrast that draws attention to the fine brushwork depicting plant motifs. As we gaze upon this remarkable object, it transports us back in time to Nishapur - a significant location renowned for its pottery production during this period. It serves as a testament to the skill and creativity of artisans who contributed to shaping our understanding of history through their masterful creations. Now housed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this trio between nature-inspired design and religious symbolism continues to captivate visitors from around the world. As we admire this timeless treasure, we are reminded once again how art transcends borders and connects us with civilizations long past – leaving an indelible mark on our collective human experience.
