Piatto a lustro che raffigura un cavallo alato

late 12th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 453
Nel XII secolo, i ceramisti emigrati dall’Egitto o dalla Siria importarono in Iran le ceramiche dipinte a lustro. Pertanto, agli inizi, la produzione di oggetti con la tecnica a lustro in Iran condivide le caratteristiche degli stessi pezzi fabbricati in Egitto durante il regno dei Fatimidi, compresa l’eccellente qualità del disegno, come si può vedere da questo piatto che raffigura un grande cavallo alato bianco su fondo lucido, circondato da un bordo a festoni. In passato si pensava che il piatto provenisse dalla città di Rayy (vicino a Tehran), ma ora si ritiene che la città meridionale di Kashan fosse all’epoca l’unico centro di produzione di oggetti a lustro.
