Two Green Dishes
These ceramic dishes come from quite different parts of the world, but tell an interesting story of cross-cultural influence.
The first dish with trailed green decoration is from 10th-century Iraq, during the Abbasid Period which lasted from AD 750–1258. The Abbasid Period is one of the most prolific moments of ceramic production in the Islamic world, with lots of experimentation with glazes and surface decoration inspired by foreign trends as well as local demand.
Around the time this dish was made, Chinese ceramics had become all the rage with Muslim potters. Many began collecting and imitating the range of ceramic styles produced there: the choice of the green glaze we see on the Iraqi dish is reflected in the second dish, which was made in Tang Dynasty China centuries prior.
