What the image shows
A carved ceramic bowl with leaf patterns.
Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.
From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
Made by potters in Iran, this fine white bowl imitates ceramics from Song period China (960-1280). The bowl's shape, light incisions, moulding, and vegetal motifs are inspired by finely thrown Chinese Dingware, pointing to international trade markets and the vogue for Chinese ceramics. Iranian potters used a recipe derived from ancient Egyptian ceramic traditions, which combined ground quartz, white clay, and ground glaze to make a lightweight stone paste that allowed for thinner walls than slip-covered earthenware.
