Attributed to Iran, probably Tabriz

Stonepaste; painted in black under a turquoise glaze, incised (Kubachi ware); second half 15th century

Mr. and Mrs. Isaac D. Fletcher Collection, Bequest of Isaac D. Fletcher, 1917   17.120.72

This striking turquoise‑and‑black bowl belongs to a group of ceramics known as Kubachi ware. Named for a village in the Caucasus where this pottery was discovered in quantity, Kubachi wares may have been produced elsewhere in northwestern Iran. This bowl— painted in black under a pale turquoise glaze, with an incised pattern of spirals and floral elements—is among the earliest examples. The bowl displays an inscription of wishes for good fortune.
