A NISHAPUR SLIP-PAINTED EARTHENWARE BOWL WITH KUFIC INSCRIPTION
Nishapur, or Central Asia, Ca. 11th - 12th century AD . An earthenware bowl of deep rounded form with a slightly everted rim. The interior is finely decorated in black slip on a cream ground under a transparent glaze.

The central field is left unadorned, accentuated only by a single dot at its core, framed by a simple red slip band. This type of calligraphic pottery, produced in the Nishapur region during the Samanid period, was highly valued for its refined aesthetic and spiritual inscriptions, often bearing moral or religious maxims.Size: 190mm x 75mm; Weight: 420gProvenance: Previous property of a UK based Islamic art professional.
