Bottle in the Form of a Lute Player
Not on view
Some details of this lute player, such as the position of his hands, suggest modern manufacture; thermoluminescence
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.
