Title: Dish with Lustre Decoration
Date: 9th or 10th century AD
Location: Iraq
Materials: buff-bodied earthenware, with monochrome lustre decoration over an opaque white glaze
Dimensions: 3 x 31.7cm
Accession Number: POT 1593
Other Notes:
The flat dish is entirely glazed on both its interior and exterior surfaces, and marks on the underside of the base may have been caused by the use of a spacer. Many elements of the design – such as the large half-palmettes and the large saddle cloth – are found on another lustre-decorated bowl in the Collection, and the two pieces were most probably produced in the same atelier and executed by the same painter [see POT 683].
