Finally finished hemming these. I love the difference the warp colour makes
These are all the same warp. The first 8 the weft colours are pulled from one of the warp stripes. Block changes were whatever I felt like. I'm very happy with them.
Bowl with fish, Iran, Kashan region, late 13th - 14th century
Kashan is famous for producing these kinds of bowls. A great number of blue and black painted bowls employing radiating panels filled with willow tendril designs like this one have been archaeologically dated to between 1204 and 1215.
This type of ware has been shown to originate from Kashan, an important ceramic center in western Iran that, between 1175 and 1225, produced a remarkable variety of luster, underglaze, and overglaze painted wares.
Similar Kashan bowls occasionally show inscriptions drawn from Persian literature in the bands radiating from the center like the black and white example shown to the left.
Kept now at the Hossein Afshar Collection
