Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/or import of Iranian-origin property. Bidders must familiarise themselves with any laws or shipping restrictions that apply to them before bidding on these lots. For example, the USA prohibits dealings in and import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (such as carpets, textiles, decorative objects, and scientific instruments) without an appropriate licence. Christie’s has a general OFAC licence which, subject to compliance with certain conditions, would enable a buyer to import this type of lot into the USA. If you intend to use Christie’s licence, please contact us for further information before you bid.

The impressive size of the bowl, together with the confident calligraphy that decorates it, is reminiscent of the famous bowl in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (acc.no. 65.106.2) or a fragment in the Sarikhani Collection (acc.no. I.CE.2224D, published by Oliver Watson, Ceramics of Iran, London, 2020, p.104, no.43). In his entry on the Sarikhani fragment, Watson notes that this stark style of script is not generally found at Nishapur, where a more calligraphic style is generally preferred, and more commonly seen on wares excavated in Tashkent and Samarkand. The fact that this bowl was excavated in Nishapur, however, suggests that this distinction may not be so pronounced.
