Persian Pottery in the First Global Age: The Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

Autor Lisa Golombek, Robert B. Mason, Patricia Proctor, Eileen Reilly
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 iul 2023
Persian Pottery in the First Global Age: the Sixteenth and Seventeeth Centuries studies the ceramic industry of Iran in the Safavid period (1501–1732) and the impact which the influx of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, heightened by the activities of the English and Dutch East Indies Companies after c. 1700, had on local production.
The multidisciplinary approach of the authors (Lisa Golombek, Robert B. Mason, Patricia Proctor, Eileen Reilly) leads to a reconstruction of the narrative about Safavid pottery and revises commonly accepted notions. The book includes easily accessible reference charts to assist in dating and provenancing Safavid pottery on the basis of diagnostic motifs, potters’ marks, petrofabrics, shapes, and Chinese models.

Recenzii

"The Safavid period was a truly global age evidenced by its material culture. In this ground-breaking survey of both elite Iranian pottery and imported Chinese porcelain, Lisa Golombek and her team have separated out fact from fiction and extracted revelatory details from a paucity of documentary sources, to unravel a concise linear narrative. This critical survey places this overlooked luxury ware in its socio-economic and cultural context. Consumption is introduced through discussions of shape and purpose; caravanserai, Armenian merchants and East India Company distribution networks; and the importance of contemporary connoisseurship, imperial collecting and royal kitchens is introduced. The commoditization of the potteries, potters and technological innovations are other themes of discourse. Ubiquitous chinoiseries and other foreign patterns are justified by fashionability, inextricably linked with all luxury goods. Integrating modern petrography and archaeology with traditional art history, explored in Tamerlane’s Tablewares, has further clarified the mystery of marks and production centres. Golembek, with authors Robert Mason, Patricia Proctor, and Eileen Reilly are to be lauded for providing a level platform for future researchers to build on." - Patricia Ferguson, Consulting Curator, Victoria and Albert Museum
"... l’ensemble constitue à n’en pas douter un ouvrage de référence, très attendu, et une réelle avancée pour l’histoire de la céramique iranienne des xvie et xviie siècles. Le fonds de céramiques safavides du ROM est intéressant, sans être exceptionnel ou particulièrement diversifié ; en faisant de cette collection le moteur d’un programme de recherche, Lisa Golombek est parvenue à allier à merveille conservation et recherche, haussant ainsi cette collection au rang de référence". - Sandra Aube, in: BCAI 31 (2016)
