About the Item

An antique Persian blue and white glazed stoneware vase, probably dating to the 18th century, produced during the late Safavid to early Qajar period. The vessel features a rounded body rising from a ring foot to a short sloping shoulder and slightly raised rim. The exterior is decorated in cobalt blue under a white glaze with stylized floral, geometric, and arabesque motifs characteristic of Persian ceramic traditions influenced by both Islamic ornament and earlier Chinese blue and white porcelain. Particularly notable is the fluid quality of the cobalt decoration, with visible tonal bleeding and expressive brushwork across the surface. The lower section retains areas of exposed buff earthenware, creating a strong visual contrast with the vivid cobalt ornamentation above. The vase displays pronounced glaze craquelure, firing irregularities, and surface variations consistent with early handmade production. Comparable examples of related Persian blue and white pottery are represented in museum and specialist collections focusing on Safavid and early Qajar ceramics. Attribution and dating remain based on stylistic and technical characteristics visible in the piece. No kiln mark has been identified. Origin: Persia Period: Probably 18th century Material: Glazed stoneware with cobalt blue decoration Dimensions: Height: 25 cm / 10 in Diameter: 20 cm / 7.8 in Condition: Antique condition consistent with age and use. Visible chipping to the rim, shoulder, and foot together with stable hairline fissures. Surface abrasions, glaze craquelure, firing irregularities, and age-related wear throughout.
