الوصف:

Mina’i is a modern collectors’ term for ceramics made in Iran during the late 12th to early 13th centuries. The term mina’i, translates as “enamelled” in Persian, designating the colored glass pigments used to paint detailed figural decoration on vessels or tiles, which were then fixed on the ceramic base by multiple firings. The use of a wide range of colors, including turquoise, red, green, purple, and black, also led these types of ceramics to be called by the Persian term “haft rang,” or “seven colors.” This footed bowl is a type of mina’i ware called “lavjardina,” a term derived from the Persian word for the blue stone lapis lazuli (lavjard). Rather than firing colors on a white background, lavjardina ceramics glazed color over a dark blue base. A repeated motif of birds encircles the central figure. A kufic inscription lines the inside rim of the bowl, while a stylized floral motif is repeated along the outside body of the bowl.For the latest information about this object, bowls (vessels), visit art.thewalters.org.Dynasty: Inscriptions: Reign: Style:
