Ca. 1000-1100 AD. A pottery bowl of a hemispherical form resting on a low ring foot with the interior featuring a central depiction of an ochre-painted bird in mid-flight, facing to the right with a sense of graceful motion. The bird is rendered with exquisite attention to detail, from the flowing lines of its wings to the elegant curve of its neck. The dotted border along the rim adds an additional layer of complexity and refinement to the composition. This bowl is a prime example of the superb ceramic production that emerged from Nishapur during the 11th century. Known for its location at the crossroads of major trade routes and for the richness of its clay deposits, Nishapur was a center of artistic innovation and technical mastery during this time. Potters in Nishapur were renowned for their ability to create objects of beauty and utility, with an aesthetic sensibility that blended influences from a variety of cultures and artistic traditions.Size: L:90mm / W:210mm ; 635gProvenance: Private London collection; ex.
