Persian potters are often considered as the progenitors of glaze-filled pierced ceramics that created attractive transparencies in their wares. For further discussion and examples, see Oliver Watson, Ceramics from Islamic Lands: Kuwait National Museum, pp.310 and 321, cat. nos. L.7 and L.21.
Some countries, e.g., the US, prohibit or restrict the purchase by its citizens (wherever located) and/or the import of certain types of works of particular origins. As a convenience to buyers, Bonhams has marked with the symbol R all lots of Iranian (Persian), Syrian or Afghan origin. It is each buyer's responsibility to ensure that they do not bid on or import a lot in contravention of the sanctions or trade embargoes that apply to them.
