Very old Iranian blue-glazed pottery bowl/12th century/Persia pottery

About the Item

This pottery was made around the 12th century, likely in the region around Iran. In Japan, this type of pottery is commonly known as "Persian pottery." In addition to polychrome-painted pottery and multicolored glaze ceramics, there are many examples like this piece, which features a beautiful blue glaze. This alkaline blue glaze was a popular color of the time. As a reference, I have attached photos of other Iranian ceramics from the same era with different designs. Please take a look. The clay used is relatively fragile, so many excavated pieces are broken. This bowl also has some broken parts that have been glued back together for repair. Fortunately, most of it remains intact, allowing the beautiful floral pattern to be fully appreciated. Because it has been buried in the ground for a long time, it has turned silver, and when it reflects light, it emits a beautiful, glittering glow. In person, the luster and texture are even more exquisite. This is a ceramic piece of timeless beauty. It comes in a dedicated wooden box labeled in kanji as "Persian Pottery / Blue Glazed Floral Bowl." As I want more people to appreciate the value of antiques, I have set the price reasonably. Why not consider adding it to your collection? Size: Diameter 18.9–20 cm, Height 8.7 cm Weight: 440g We, Brood, are a company consisting of four different stores with four different brands.
