Antique 19th-century Middle Eastern Qajar Dynasty polychrome brush pot
An exceptional mid to late 19th century hand painted polychrome glaze Persian brush pot having four colourful floral decorated hand painted panels.
During the Qajar dynasty of Iran, then the Sublime State of Persia, pottery combined traditional craftsmanship with creative innovation. The Qajar examples facilitated artistic expression where this may otherwise have been limited by the basic construction materials available.
Pieces produced in the Qajar period were created for both practical and aesthetic reasons. Such examples were produced across Iran, notably for example in Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz. Most Qajar pottery originated in Tehran, which became the centre of Iranian life during this period on a political and cultural level.
A striking decorative piece ideal for mantle or shelf display.
