Book excerpt: In the complex and varied world of Islamic art ceramics play an important role. Medieval Persian ceramics, in particular, were extraordinary for their technical invention and imaginative, refined iconography achieving artistic results that would be difficult to surpass in the art of pottery. Compared with early Islamic art, works of art from medieval times make much greater use of figural decoration and forms. Alongside celebrated examples from some of the world's most prestigious museum collections, this volume includes a series of hitherto unseen works. The impressive and technically sophisticated pieces include plates, bowls, ewers, jugs, jars, beakers, and spouted and shaped vessels. The book provides an exhaustive panorama of Persian ceramics, striking a perfect balance between technical, stylistic, and aesthetic analysis, which brings the reader closer to this art of exceptional quality and beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persian Pottery in the First Global Age: the Sixteenth and Seventeeth Centuries studies the ceramic industry of Iran in the Safavid period (1501–1732) and the impact which the influx of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, heightened by the activities of the English and Dutch East Indies Companies after c. 1700, had on local production.

Book excerpt: Persia and China is the first catalogue raisonne to explore the collection of Blue and White Persian ceramics of the Safavid dynasty in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. It is a study of over 500 pieces of glazed ceramics mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries, all photographed in black and white by the author. Most of the collection was acquired over a century ago in Persia where Major Richard Murdoch Smith RE, the enterprising director of the Indo European Telegraph Line, recognized the possibility of creating the first ever comprehensive Persian Collection for the Museum then known as the South Kensington Museum. This group of ceramics is part of a very large collection of Persian artefacts gathered during his years of service in Persia from 1865 to 1885. Murdoch Smith had grasped the importance of the geographical position of Persia on the sea route between Western Europe and Far Eastern Asia, and he understood how the historical background together with trading by the East India Companies, influenced the production of Persian ceramics. By taking all these factors into account, the diversity of the designs and shapes of these Persian ceramics caught between European and
