Tamerlane's Tableware:
A New Approach to Chinoiserie Ceramics of Fifteenth and Sixteenth-Century Iran
Lisa Golombek, Robert B. Mason, and Gauvin A. Bailey
The practice of imitating Chinese blue-and-white porcelain in Iran began in the Timurid
period (c. 1370-1505). Attempts to distinguish wares actually made in Iran during the 15th
century failed because they depended on analysis of the decoration alone. Idiosyncrasies
of individual workshops could not be distinguished, and the dates of Chinese models could
serve only as broad guidelines. By analysis of materials from kilns and other evidence of
manufacture, it is possible to characterize a center of production, and at times even
distinguish separate workshops in the same center.
