<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sam Hills, post: 3364147, member: 17876&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to hear your opinion on this excavated Persian bowl. No markings. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Provenance</b>: Grand-mothers collection from Iran, acquired in 1960s from dealer</p><p><br /></p><p>I stumbled across one that looks very similar sold recently at Sothebys, if not identical? The condition of course is very different. Could this be an Excavated Kashan Pierced White Ware Pottery Bowl, Persia, 12th/early 13th century?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s the link:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2012/arts-of-the-islamic-world/lot.524.html?locale=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2012/arts-of-the-islamic-world/lot.524.html?locale=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2012/arts-of-the-islamic-world/lot.524.html?locale=en</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The dimensions are very similar: 20 cm diam, 10 cm hight</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently, the pieces were assembled to ‘museum standard’, i.e. reversible work and you can easily distinguish original from new parts of the bowl. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think my attribution is correct? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you in advance for your comments!</p><p>Sam</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]300448[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH]300449[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH]300450[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
