Lot 160
Eastern Africa, Morocco, Islamic, ca. 19th century CE. A hand-built pottery jar or tureen with a squat foot beneath a broad body, all topped with a cupped lid. Layers of cobalt and cream glaze cover the entire vessel in color and create a chromatic feast for the eyes. Both the lid and the body are adorned with intricate Islamic calligraphy that are then glazed in the color opposite that comprising their respective grounds. This type of vessel was a popular revival of the earlier 17th century Safavid blue and white ware and keeps with the gorgeous bichrome presentation. Size: 6.9" W x 5.625" H (17.5 cm x 14.3 cm); 8.4" H (21.3 cm) on included custom stand.
