Description : Eastern Africa, Morocco, Islamic, ca. 19th century CE. A hand-built pottery jar or tureen with a squat foot beneath a broad body, all topped with a cupped lid. Layers of cobalt and cream glaze cover the entire vessel in color and create a chromatic feast for the eyes. Both the lid and the body are adorned with intricate Islamic calligraphy that are then glazed in the color opposite that comprising their respective grounds.
