A propos de cet article

English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket).; 23 x 29 cm.; 1.2 kg.; 256 pages with black and white and a few colour illustrations.; Used with minor signs of wear on the exterior and interior. Minor edge wear.; slamic Art and Architecture Series: Number 6.; The practice of imitating Chinese blue-and- white porcelain in Iran began in the Timurid period (c. 1370-1505). In 1949, Sir Basil Gray wrote, "we do not unfortunately know much more about this period of Persian pottery and it remains notoriously elusive." Attempts to distinguish wares actually made in Iran during the 15th century failed because they depended on analysis of the decoration alone. Idiosyncrasies of individual workshops could not be distinguished, and the dates of Chinese models could serve only as broad guidelines. The new approach, which is fundamental to this study, is petrographic analysis. This technique, derived from the earth sciences, is used to characterize production centres on the basis of the presence and nature of minerals and rock inclusions found within the body. As this particular pottery is made of stonepaste, which is primarily composed of quartz, new criteria for characterization were developed specifically for this research. By analysis of materials from kilns and other evidence of manufacture, it is possible to characterize a centre of production, and at times even distinguish separate workshops in the same centre. Analysis of whole objects enables their attribution to these defined centres, and allows stylistic characterization of each centre. One of the most important findings of this study was the identification of Nishapur in northeastern Iran as a major production centre. The work begins by introducing the problem and discussing the stimulus, the Chinese porcelain trade. It then addresses the local response, first from the "inside" (petrographic analysis) and then from the "outside," classifying ornament on the basis of its Chinese model. The workshops are then identified and dated on the basis of stylistic and technical characteristics. This information is woven into the historical narrative, and a chronology of the ceramic industry is proposed. Finally, the authors comment broadly on the industry in the Timurid period and consider Timurid pottery within the larger context of Islamic ceramics.…
