This elegant ewer features lightly incised decoration under a transparent glaze. A type of ceramics commonly known as Gombroon ware, the name is derived from the port of Bandar-e ëAbbas (known as Gombroon by the British), from where these ceramics were exported in the 18th century. Both the Dutch and English East India Companies populated Bandar-e ëAbbas and traded heavily in ceramics. This ware was popular outside of the Islamic world because its delicate, glassy appearance was thought to closely resemble Chinese porcelain..

Glass rectangular bottle 245183Drinking Cup ca. 1479-1425 B.C. New Kingdom This jar was probably imported from western Asia and may have been brought to Egypt by one of the foreign wives of Thutmose III as part of her dowry. The form, which has a button-shaped base now masked by gold leaf over plaster restoration, has a long history in Mesopotamia. Fragments of glassy faience vessels with a similar variegated pattern have been found at the site of Nuzi (modern Yorgan Tepe, Iraq), which flourished in the kingdom of Mitanni during the fifteenth and fourteenth centuries B.C. Glass making appears to have originated in Mesopotamia and been imported into Egypt early in Dynasty 18. Egyptian artisans had been making faience, a substance related to glass, for more than a thousand years and they quickly mastered the art of glassmaking as well.. Drinking Cup. ca. 1479-1425 B.C..

Grueby (1867-1925), founder of Grueby Faience Company, developed the characteristic glazes for which the pottery became renowned. A number of important designers, including George Prentiss Kendrick and Addison LeBoutillier, contributed to the look and design of Grueby pottery. Although Grueby pottery is traditionally known for the matte green glaze that became ubiquitous in Arts and Crafts potteries, this vase features an unusual mustard yellow glaze. At Grueby, potters crafted the pots and modelers--usually female--finished them. The design of the vase, which alternates between stylized flat leaf and thin elegant scroll, is attributed to the Grueby company's first director of design, George P. Kendrick.

It has elephant-head handles, popular during the Ming dynasty, and a matched stand that is relatively rare. Secular incense burners resembling ancient ritual vessels evolved during the Ming dynasty from the intellectual elites interest in antiquarian studies. Such burners were usually kept on small stands or tables reserved specifically for them. Delicate fragrances, gained from burning rare, imported, and often expensive aromatic woods, were highly prized by Chinas elite. The censer, along with incense and tongs for handling it, became an important part of the scholars study.

Museum: The Chicago Art Institute, Chicago, USA.Flower vase with dragon handles 14th century China This vase embodies the experimental spirit of Yuan bronze designers. It features an extravagant fusion of various contemporary decorative motifs: bold dragon handles, intricate plant scrolls, and two types of dragons along its rim and its foot. Tellingly, the two-dimensional representation of entwined dragons on its foot is replicated in three-dimensional form by a brush rest from the early 14th century. The high relief chevrons encircling the belly of the vessel have no clear precedent. Instead, this bold design feature represents the artist confidently creating a new style that departs from archaic prototypes. This experimental spirit is the most noteworthy feature of Yuan bronze designs. This decorative freedom gradually disappears during the following Ming and Qing dynasties..
