Ca. 17th century AD. A stonepaste vase with its bulbous lower body and elegant funnel-shaped neck. The intricate decoration of this vase is truly a sight to behold. Against a creamy white background, blue birds with black outlines gracefully soar around a stunning floral setting. The beauty of this design is matched only by the precision and care with which it was executed. This vase is a prime example of the significance of Islamic pottery. Pottery making was a highly regarded craft in Islamic culture, with skilled artisans producing a vast array of beautiful objects for both functional and decorative purposes. These objects were not only visually stunning but also held great cultural and religious significance. The use of birds and flowers in Islamic pottery, as seen in this vase, can be traced back to the Islamic tradition of using natural forms in art as a reflection of divine creation.Size: L:130mm / W:120mm ; 325gProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly in a collection of A. Kotlar, since the 1970s.
