EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Spherical Kahlian Pipe Bowl, believed to have been crafted in Kerman, Iran during the late 17th or early 18th century. The bowl, made from stone-paste with polychrome under glaze, measures an impressive diameter of 18 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. The exquisite craftsmanship of this Persian School creation is evident in its intricate design and vibrant colors. This pipe bowl would have served as the base for a hookah or narghile - a traditional smoking device popular in Eastern cultures. The attention to detail is remarkable, with delicate palmette motifs adorning the surface of the ceramic vessel. These decorative elements not only add beauty but also reflect the rich cultural heritage of Islamic art. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate the skill and creativity that went into producing such an extraordinary piece. It serves as a testament to Iran's mastery of pottery and their contribution to artistic traditions. This photograph invites us to marvel at both its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. It reminds us that art has no boundaries - transcending time and place - allowing us to connect with different cultures through visual expressions like this magnificent Kahlian Pipe Bowl.
