| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
The piercd technique used on this bowl first appears on Iranian ceramics in the 12th and 13th centuries. The technique involved piercing designs directly through the walls of the extremely fine-grained, pure white body; the windows or cavities were filled in with the clear transparent glaze creating translusect windows. Often these simple designs were enhanced with underglaze painting in blue and black. A similar piercing technique was found in Chinese porcelain in the 16th century.
