<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4271092, member: 2844&quot;]Qajar is not a ceramic technique, it is the name of a Persian dynasty, 1796-1925.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Yes, these were made during the Qajar dynasty, but yours dates from the last decade or so (of the Qajar period).</p><p>Persia/Iran is in the&nbsp; Middle East. </p><p>Since it isn&#039;t a religious item, and we don&#039;t even know the religion of the maker, we can&#039;t call it Islamic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Persia comes from the Greek &#039;Persis&#039;, the name for the Pars region of Iran. The name was used in the West until 1935, when the last Shah requested the country be called by it&#039;s real name, Iran.</p><p>Iran is a very old, pre-Muslim name. Persia is also a pre-Muslim name, but a foreign one, and not as old as the name Iran.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
