EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Gombroon Bowl, a remarkable artifact from Iran's Safavid period. Crafted with stone-paste and adorned with intricate pierced decoration and black underglaze, this Persian masterpiece is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. Measuring 15.3 cm in diameter, this bowl bears striking resemblance to Chinese white ware and phialae bowls used for pouring water in ancient Greece and Persia. It beautifully reflects the cross-cultural influences that shaped art during this era. The Gombroon Bowl exemplifies the mastery of Persian School artists who skillfully combined elements from different traditions to create unique works of art. Its trefoil shape adds an elegant touch while its decorative motifs showcase Islamic influences prevalent during that time. Dating back to the 17th century, this ceramic treasure offers a glimpse into Iran's rich cultural heritage. The ornate detailing on its surface transports us to a bygone era where craftsmanship was revered and beauty was celebrated. As we admire this stunning piece captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance as it represents centuries of artistic evolution in Iran.
