Product Description

Alongside celebrated examples from some of the worldâs most prestigious museum collections, this volume includes a series of hitherto unseen works. One hundred emotions are to be had in the precious and elegant collection of ancient ceramics conceived and brought together by Louise Michail and her daughter Narghes Sorgato. The project is the fruit of many years of passionate and studious research, with one hundred small masterpieces of ceramics produced in Persia between the 9th and 14th centuries. There are rare ceramics from Nishapur, having stained, dyed, or epigraphic decorations and often ornamentation of an interesting naturalistic kind, made with polished metal glazing. These brilliant and skilful works from the central Asian steppes demonstrate sophisticated technical talent that no doubt resulted from constant and original experimentation.
