It was subsequently acquired by the Museum through a division of finds with the Iranian government at the time.Similar objects, earthenware with an opaque turquoise glaze, were also excavated in Central Iran, particularly in Isfahan and Istakhr. They appear to represent a visual continuity of vessels made of stonepaste, a new ceramic technology that emerged in the second half of the 11th century. However, such objects are largely unknown and often ignored in the art historical literature from medieval Iran. Further investigations will elucidate whether this ware was made in imitation of stonepaste, perhaps by craftsmen with no knowledge of the medium, or if it is an example of a preexisting type of production whose repertoire of shapes was later adopted by stonepaste manufacturers..

Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. These itineraries are often referred to by the term Silk routes’ but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur—from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and Cup 1900 Japan.
