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 calligraphy on the larger bowl in this lot, as well as the dotted pattern around the rim, resembles that on an example which was excavated by Charles Wilkinson in Nishapur. He finds similarities between the script and that on wares excavated in the Ghaznavid capital of Lashkari Bazaar, and suggests a parallel with Tulunid textiles (Charles K. Wilkinson, Nishapur: Pottery of the Early Islamic Period, New York, 1974, p.99, no.24). The tendency towards greater abstraction in Nishapur pottery is reflected in the smaller bowl, upon which elegant lancets alternate with a brown motif, with heightened shafts resembling a lam-alef ligature.
