12th C CE Rayy Ware Bowl

Description

Rayy Ware Bowl, 12th C CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. From the bowl's description on [artsmia.org](www.artsmia.org): *'The Seljuk period (1038-1194) was perhaps the most creative era in the production of Persian ceramics. In addition to lusterware, minai ware, and monochromatic blue glaze, underglaze-painted ceramics were also produced. These bowls represent one popular variant, black designs under a transparent turquoise glaze.'* More information [here](https://collections.artsmia.org/art/1084/bowl-iran)
