Date: second half 17th century.Very few pieces of Iranian lusterware survive from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, but this technique was revived in the seventeenth century. During this period, lusterware was produced in a relatively limited range of shapes, including elegant bottles, such as the one here, as well as dishes, bowls, cups, ewers and sand-shakers. This bottle would have been made toward the end of the reign of Shah 'Abbas II (1642-1666), a period of heightened artistic activity in which new ideas from Europe and India found favor. Thus, the eclectic confluence of the Indian zebu bull, the Persian peacock, and the Chinese deer on one bottle would have been admired as much as the elegant shape and lustrous glaze.

This kakiemon-type jar with plum design is a product made for the European markets. Here, Japanese kakiemon potters transformed the typical plum, bamboo, and pine motifs into a theme appreciating the plum. The 9th-century Japanese scholar and politician Sugawara Michizane established the plum as a symbol of scholarship. An excellent poet, particularly of Chinese-style poetry, he was also well known for his love of plum blossoms. Later, the plum came to represent tenmangu, a shrine for Sugawara.Two-Handled Sauceboat.

Porcelain with enamelTeapot with cover ca. 1719-30 Meissen Manufactory German One of the most distinctive models produced at the Meissen factory is this teapot in the form of a helmeted, bearded man. He holds a dolphin that forms a spout, while a mermaid, who is supported on the shoulders of a satyr, serves as the handle. The feet of the man emerge just above the base and rest on a shell that forms the foot. A gilt-metal chain looped around the spout and the top of the handle attaches to the finial on the lid, ensuring that the latter does not become separated from the teapot itself. The teapot is one of a small number of Meissen teapots of this design, several of which have been published.1 As Maureen Cassidy-Geiger has observed, a design by the French artist Jacques Stella (1596-1657) published in his Livre des Vases (1667) must have provided the inspiration for the teapot’s form, and it is likely that the Meissen model draws elements from other prints by him as well.2 While the design that relates mPomade box ca. 1765 British, Staffordshire.
