Small Vase with Stripes

View through Harvard Museums
This small vase is decorated with vertical cobalt-blue stripes under a transparent glaze that ends above the foot. Probably due to an accident in the kiln, part of another vessel is attached to the vase at its widest point. To judge from the many surviving blue-striped vessels in a range of shapes, this form of decoration was highly popular on early thirteenth-century Iranian ceramics. Its appearance on this vase suggests a deliberate revival.
