Around 1200, Persian ceramicists perfected methods of painting colored designs under colorless or turquoise transparent glazes. In additiion, the artisans of the famed pottery center, Kashan, adopted the technique of painting with metallic pigments over the fired glaze of their vessels; after the second firing ths produced on these pots the golden, lustrous effect of precious metalware.ProvenanceHerter Looms, NY
