A small number of dishes are known which have been given the name "Fayyoum Ware" since a number of fragments of this ware were found in Fayyoum province a little way south west of Cairo (Mohamed Mostafa, Moslem Ceramics, Cairo, 1956, p.15, pl.45 and cover; see also Helen Philon, Benaki Museum, Athens, Early Islamic Ceramics, London, 1980, figs.95-97 and plate IIIA). They are typically decorated with coloured stripes in yellow, green, manganese and yellow, in a glaze that runs very heavily, as is seen here. The present jar is a very rare form for this ware; almost all the known pieces are dishes with a short everted rim.
