There is a similarly decorated 17th century kalian (water-pipe base) from Kirman in the Victoria and Albert Museum, currently on display in the Jameel Gallery, acc.no. 422-1878. Our bottle and the kalian are both covered with a green slip decorated with very similar white painted flowers and foliage emanating from a wide-rimmed arabesque-filled vase.

For a brief discussion on Kirman pottery produced in the Safavid period and for another bottle of similar form and decoration, see lot 50 in the present sale.
