Kashan Lustre

No. 3 of 20 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeA white bowl painted inside with golden lustre, leaving pale palmettes, tendrils and dots in reserve around a small rosette.

What it meansLustre is a thin film of metal fired onto the glaze so the surface shines like gold; potters in Kashan, Iran, made it famous in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

Where it worksGlows against the deep ground in a study, hallway or dining room.
