Ca. 1300-1350 AD. A beautifully decorated pottery dish sitting on a low ring foot, and the body gradually flaring to a broad, shallow opening with a flat rim, which enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the form. The interior surface of the dish is embellished with a harmonious design, featuring a central roundel with a hare set against foliate background. The animal is depicted with great precision and skill, capturing its naturalistic form and movement, while the foliate background adds a sense of depth and complexity to the design. The Sultanabad ware is a type of pottery that was produced in the town of Sultanabad, located in the western part of Persia, during the Ilkhanid period. It is characterized by its refined forms, exquisite decoration, and fine craftsmanship, which reflects the artistic and cultural richness of the time.Size: L:70mm / W:345mm ; 1.49kgProvenance: Acquired from a Central London Antique Shop; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market since the 1970s.
