Shallow bowl ca. 7th century B.C. Iran This shallow bowl has a flat base, a carinated shoulder and a vertical rim. A horizontal loop handle emerges from the shoulder on one side. It is made of a red clay, using a potters wheel. It was excavated at Tepe Nush-i Jan, an Iron Age hilltop site about 60 km sound of Hamadan in western Iran. Nush-i Jan was occupied in the 7th and 6th centuries B.C., and its occupants are generally thought to be the Medes, an Iranian people known from Assyrian, Achaemenid and Biblical sources. Though the textual sources portray them as a powerful empire, archaeological evidence for the Medes has yet to sustain this impression. Rather, they seem to have lived in scattered fortified sites in western and central Iran, without any clear capital. Nush-i Jan, one of the best known of these sites, features two temples, a columned hall, and a fort. This jar was found in the Central Temple, a tower-like structure in the middle of the site. Thus it may have been used in

Jar 400 CE-600 CE Syria. Initially affordable only among the wealthy, glass was used in ancient Rome as containers for oils, perfume, and tablewares. The variety of glass-making techniques reveals the changing tastes and fashions over the centuries. During the 1st century CE, cast glass was a novel form that was a luxury for the Roman household, but by the end of the century, the innovation of blown glass allowed for less labor-intensive and less expensive production, which meant people of lesser means could afford it. Blown glass became so popular it nearly supplanted ceramic and even bronze wares in the home. The technical achievements and prestige of glass continued through the Byzantine period..

Tea bowl decorated with chrysanthemums and wavy lines ca. 1700 Japan The white slip, stamp technique, and chrysanthemum motif of this tea bowl echo the decoration of fifteenth-century buncheong ware, such as the adjacent vessel.

$Bowls 14th century Fuel has always been an expensive commodity and Islamic potters, like those of today, often sought to economize on its use by packing their ceramic kilns as tightly as possible. Refractory clay tripod stilts were used to keep stacked vessels from sticking together during firing and these left behind small stilt marks that are seen seen on many ceramics. In this case, the bowls accidently shifted before or during firing fusing them together along with the interposed stilts.Sometimes molten glaze dripped down onto objects below. The two large turquoise splashes on a large luster painted bowl in gallery 451 (32.52.3) suggests that it was placed below a blue glazed ceramic in the firing kiln.. Bowls 446165$
