EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Safavid or Qajar tear catcher, dating back to the 17th - 18th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Iranian School, this tear catcher stands at an impressive height of 37 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The tear catcher features a mesmerizing combination of elements, including its globular body, elongated ribbed neck, and broad flaring pear-shaped rim. Its spiral design adds an exquisite touch to this delicate piece of glassware. Symbolizing mourning and sadness prevalent in Middle Eastern cultures during that era, this tear catcher served as a vessel for collecting tears shed during moments of grief and unhappiness. It was often used ceremonially during times of loss or death. The deep blue color evokes emotions such as sorrow and remorse while adding decorative flair to any space it graces. The ornate decoration on the bottle further enhances its beauty and significance. Blown with precision and artistry, this Persian tear bottle carries within it centuries worth of emotion. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human experience – one filled with both joyous celebrations and heart-wrenching sorrows. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail in their photograph, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship behind this historical artifact from the Middle East.
