Predynastic Period. Black Incised Ware Bowl. ca. 3850-2960 B.C.. Pottery. Predynastic Period. From EgyptInkpot of the Emperor Jahangir dated A.H. 1028/A.D. 1618-19 Mu'min Jahangir Sturdy, monumental, artfully rounded, richly adorned, and so weighty and well balanced that it could hardly be overturned, this dignified and useful inkpot can be seen as a poetic visual symbol of the empire inherited by Jahangir. If his father, Akbar, commissioned works of art as elements of a dynamic imperial vision, the son did so for delectation and spiritual nourishment. His miniatures, architecture, objects, and autobiography, the Tuzuk-i Jahangiri, reveal him as a responsible-if quirky, warm-blooded, and sometimes cruel-ruler, whose aesthetic concerns left enough time and energy for essential statecraft. Few rulers in world history match his artistic discernment or breadth of taste. He collected pictures and objects from the Islamic world and beyond: Chinese porcelains, Augsburg gilt-bronze statuettes, engravings by Dürer and the Flemish Mannerists, and Renaissance jewels as well as Persian miniatures.

As well as complicated display pieces, his workshop produced a great deal of utilitarian silver. The quality of the punched snakeskin ornament on this example shows how much attention was given to the even smallest detail so as to sustain Augsburgs leading role in the art of goldsmithing..

Made during the first years of the royal porcelain factory in Capodimonte, this rare set is one of the great masterpieces of European porcelain. With its malleability and whiteness, porcelain was especially suited to the Rococo emphasis on asymmetry, natural motifs, and a palette that was lucid and light. These soft-paste porcelain surfaces, probably designed by Capodimonteís master modeler, Giuseppe Gricci, conjure up the textures and luminescence of sea-washed shells and natural mother-of-pearl. The allusion to the marine worldóso appropriate to these water-bearing vesselsóis furthered by the use of shell-like forms for both the shape and decoration of the ewer and basin. The surfaces of the vessels are also encrusted with marine elements, and a trompe líoeil coral branch cleverly serves as the ewerís handle. Swirling lines and irregular surfaces contribute to the ewerís sense of lightness and complete the allusion to the sea.. Soft-paste porcelain, polycTripod Vessel Depicting Eagles and Shells.

Probably made in Bennington, Vermont, United StatesPierced Blue Pot with Animals and Vegetal Scroll last quarter 11th or 12th century Archaeological evidence reveals that carved and pierced vessels with a monochrome glaze are among the earliest stonepaste wares produced in Iran. They were produced already in the last quarter of the 11th century, in a range of new shapes and forms. Some of them, like lobed bowls, animal-shaped spouts and jug-like ewers, became common forms used for luster and minai objects; others, like this sub-globular vessel, were used distinctively for monochrome wares.Before being glazed in blue, the object was carved. It features a main band of walking quadrupeds in sequence, such as a dog, a feline, a boar (?), and a fox (?). These creatures were associated with the hunt, one of the chief royal pastimes in both Iranian and Central Asian territories..
