The opaque white glaze concealed the clay body, which could range from pale buff to brick red, allowing for brilliant effects created by painting the white surface with metal oxides that fired to a range of colors. This technique, as well as the use of metallic lusteran iridescent, coppery painted glazespread throughout the Muslim world, arriving among the potters of Valencia in the thirteenth century. The so-called Hispano-Moresque lusterware, with its fusion of Islamic and Gothic styles and motifs, often in shaped imitating those of metal vessels, was treasured by the elite in Spain during the fifteenth century and exported to the courts of Europe. The Valencian industry declined in the late sixteenth century, as colorful Italian Renaissance maiolica gained in popularity among the Terracotta dish.

Well finished with brilliant, almost lacquerlike surfaces, the ceramic vessels feature designs in vivid orange, red, and white. Gray, dark brown, and black are also used in a style seen in the painted manuscripts of the period. These vessels were of such high quality and superior workmanship that they were used in the court of the Aztec emperor in Tenochtitlan.Around the upper portion of this bowl are three prowling felines, their heads turned back over their slender, curved bodies. The creatures' aggressiveness is conveyed through their penetrating gaze, bared teeth, and fangs. Pointed forms emanate from under their feet, probably representing claws. Bladelike forms appear along their backbone, tail, and forearms, while one is held in an outstretched paw. Dish. Culture: Spanish. Dimensions: Overall: 18 5/8 in. (47.3 cm).

It is made of a pale buff clay with painted brown decoration on the outside, especially large double swells radiating from the base with geometric designs within and around them. The regular form of the cup suggests it was finished on a slow wheel. About one quarter of it survives; the rest is modern reconstruction.This bowl was excavated in 1932 at Tall-i Bakun A in southwestern Iran, a prehistoric site near Persepolis. During the fifth millennium B.C. Bakun was a hub for trade between pastoral nomads who raised sheep and goats in the highlands and the farmers who raised barley, wheat and peas in the Marvdasht Plain. As a result it grew into a major administrative center, as attested by the many stamp seals found there. It was also where much of the pottery used by the pastoralists was made, including this bowl.

China By the Warring States period, Chu, noted for its lacquer production, was the major cultural force in south central China. The visual arts of Chu are often characterized as shamanistic in response to the prevalence of images of fairylike creatures riding on dragons, or clouds that change imperceptibly into dragons, and, as they meander through the sky, transform again into dragons. The playful, thin lines painted on this winged cup are a later stylized version of the traditional cloud-dragon motif. The two large winglike appendages on the cup are often described as "ears" in Chinese writings, and cups of this type, known from at least the eighth century B.C., are generally termed "ear-cups," or erbei. It was most likely once part of a matched set of eating and drinking vessels..
