A Chinese inspired blue and white Safavid huqqa base (Kendi)
Iran, 17th century
fritware body with typical globular shape, hourglass shaped neck and a bulging, faceted pourer in this case instead of the usual rounded form. The surface with underglaze blue decoration imitating the Chinese tradition featuring tall pagodas in a maritime context, a stylised wave motif encircles the base and floral motifs adorning the shoulder and neck. Characteristic of Safavid production is the black outline and the pseudo Chinese-inspired mark on the base. Flaws and cracks.
