Footnotes
- As seen in the previous lot, this collection illustrates the variety of fritware produced in the late 12th and early 13th Centuries in Persia. The potters were continuously experimenting, producing a wide range of quality fritware, varying in shapes, decoration and sizes, all in a monochrome glaze. For further examples, see Watson, Oliver, Ceramics from Islamic Lands: The Al-Sabah Collection, London, 2004, pp.314 and 323.
