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.

Although mina'i ware is probably best known for the examples decorated with figural scenes, a small number survive with bold aniconic or calligraphic designs. An unusual sherd in the al-Sabah collection combines lustre with a similar calligraphy to that seen here, turquoise blue within a black outline (acc.no. LNS 877; Oliver Watson, Ceramics from Islamic Lands, London, 2004, p.364, cat.no.P.1.). A small number of bowls with aniconic designs are also in the Khalili Collection, including an example organised around a six-pointed stellar motif (POT1045; Ernst J Grube, Cobalt and Lustre: the First Centuries of Islamic Pottery, London, 1994, p.216, no.237).
