Translation provided by Youdao
Ca. 900-1000 AD. A glazed pottery bowl of conical shape, gently curving walls, and ring foot create a harmonious and balanced design that draws the eye inward. The cream ground provides a striking contrast to the intricate decoration that adorns the surface of the bowl. The central motif of this bowl is a left-facing bird with a plump body, raised tail, and a small head. It stands proudly on the cream ground. The bird's intricate detailing demonstrates the skill and artistry of the Abbasid potters. Bowls produced in the Abbasid dynasty during the 10th century were highly prized for their unique designs and exceptional craftsmanship. Birds, animals, and floral motifs were popular decorative elements during this period and can be found on many other Abbasid bowls of the same era. The intricate detailing and lifelike appearance of these designs reflect the deep appreciation for the natural world that was characteristic of Abbasid art and culture.Size: L:90mm / W:240mm ; 710gProvenance: Private London collection; ex.
