Imitation Bichrome Luster Bowl

Imitation Bichrome Luster Bowl. Dimensions: H. 2 7/16 in. (6.2 cm) Diam. 8 1/8 in. (20.6 cm). Date: 9th century. The decoration of this bowl imitates a type of luster ceramic usually dated to the mid- to late ninth century, characterized by the use of two shades of a brownish-gold glaze. Instead of being made with the metal-based glaze of luster ware, though, this bowl is decorated with brown and yellow glazes made of diluted clay. Its interior is divided into quarters by projecting vertical strokes; each quadrant is decorated with the "peacock-eye" pattern so common on luster wares of this period.
