Imitation Green-Splashed Samarra Ware
This bowl, with its opaque white ground, splashes of green glaze, and radial inscription, imitates a type of bowl made in Basra, Iraq, that was in turn based on Chinese prototypes. The inscription on this bowl, written with a purplish-black glaze rather than the cobalt blue used on Iraqi ceramics, identifies it as a Nishapur product.
