Bottle in the Form of a Lute Player
Not on view

analysis recently confirmed its twentieth-century date.
In 1907 the Frenchman L.-O. Olmer, a professor of physics and chemistry in Tehran, wrote of a visit to a ceramics workshop that produced imitations of ancient pieces, sometimes with excellent results, and sold them to foreigners.
