Bol lustré à décor de cheval ailé

late 12th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 453
Au XIIe siècle, des potiers venus d’Égypte ou de Syrie introduisirent en Iran l’art de la céramique lustrée. C’est pourquoi les premières productions iraniennes de ce genre ont des traits communs avec celles de l’Égypte fatimide, tels que la bordure festonnée et la qualité extraordinaire du décor de ce bol, orné d’un grand cheval blanc ailé qui se détache nettement sur le fond lustré. Le bol avait d’abord été attribué au centre de céramique de Rayy ( près de Téhéran), mais on croit maintenant que Kashan, plus au sud, était en réalité le seul centre de production de ce type d’objet à l’époque.
