Footed Bowl with Marvered Decoration in White and Turquoise
In the 12th–14th centuries the manufacture of marvered glass was among the many shared features in the artistic creation and material culture of Syria and Egypt, ruled at the time by the Ayyubids and then the Mamluks. The deep-purple glass and white trail combination is the most commonly one found in Syria, and is attested on a variety of shapes, also including kohl bottles, flasks, bottles, beakers, and perfume sprinklers.
