Bowl, anonymous, c. 1175 - c. 1224 White beige bowl of very fine earthenware (quartz fritry). Low, hollow foot. Right outstanding wall. A lead glaze layer is applied directly to the shard, which only leaves the foot uncovered. Decoration is applied in three ways; In the first place, a medallion with flower vines and a circle are engraved in the shard in two places on the inside. These drags are filled with enamel, causing them to stand dark against the background. In addition, gaps were drilled through the shard in the drags. Because these holes are filled with glaze, they are somewhat transparent. Finally, blue lead glaze is applied on the inside in three places, under the glaze.

Iran This biconical cup has a bulging body, a wide mouth, a slightly flaring rim, and a small foot. It is made of a buff clay, with brown decorations, namely wavy vertical lines on the upper part of the vessel and straight radial lines on the foot. Wheel lines on the interior indicate it was made on a potters wheel.This cup was excavated at Tepe Hissar, near the modern city of Damghan in northern Iran. Tepe Hissar was primarily an agricultural settlement, though much of the evidence for plant cultivation dates to later periods, with buildings made of mudbrick or simply mud walls. This cup belongs to the Hissar IC/IIA period, dating to ca. 3980-3865 B.C. on the basis of radiocarbon dating. During this period there was a lively and technically proficient ceramic industry at the site, producing well-formed vessels decorated with geometric designs and stylized images of ibexes, gazelles and birds.

This luminous bowl was made using the laborious and time-consuming composition-cast mosaic glass technique. The particular combination of colors and patterns suggests that this lovely dish was created in the Eastern Mediterranean, a region that grew wealthy from trade with Asian cultures. The town homes and country houses of the local elite boasted beautifully frescoed walls, colorful mosaic floors, and lush, private gardens embellished with decorative sculptures for the sumptuous alfresco banquets that were a favorite evening pastime. This delicate mosaic glass dish was likely made to adorn a splendidly set dinner table alongside other exquisitely wrought platters, bowls, and goblets.. Glass, mosaic glass technique .

Walnut Canyon National Monument museum, ArizonaAntiqueBronze basin with six legs. Culture: Late Villanovan and Etruscan. Dimensions: H. 9 in. (22.8 cm)diameter 12 1/4 in. (31.2 cm). Date: legs: ca. 700-650 B.C.; handled basin: 6th century B.C..Such basins, decorated with abstract horsemen and birds, are especially common at Vetulonia, a probable site of manufacture. Most examples have only three legs and a basin without handles. Because the six legs on this piece are of two distinct types, it is likely that the object is really a pastiche composed of disparate ancient elements: two sets of solid-cast legs from about 700-650 B.C. and a handled basin from the sixth century B.C.
