6–10 Bottles, Ewer and Vase
Iran, Tehran
1880–8
These vessels were produced at the workshop of Ali Muhammad Isfahani in Tehran. Ali Muhammad was the leading art potter there from the 1880s. He revived the use of fritware, the white composite body used in the great historical ceramics of Iran. The forms of these pieces imitate older objects, but their decoration follows contemporary taste.
Fritware painted under the glaze. Signed by Husayn (6)
