CENTRAL IRAN, LATE 12TH OR EARLY 13TH CENTURY
Full: Front Glazed composition dish: this bright blue glazed composition dish with black decoration has a button foot, coloured black on the underside, which serves as a central element from which the dotted sepals and petals of the blue lotus radiate to decorate the outer surface. The black edged rim rises vertically from the body of the bowl to provide a distinct neck, decorated with groups of black stripes. Inside the bowl, within a circle of twelve pendant double buds of the blue lotus, each joined to the next by a continuous arched double stem, swims a 'Tilapia' or 'bolti', chewing on the stem of a lotus pad.
