These included brightly coloured slipwares from Bukhara, Samarkand and Rishtan, as well as white-glazed wares, painted in blue and purple, from Kokand.\r\n\r\nThere is no evidence that these wares were made in continuation of an earlier local tradition. They are frequently found in Western collections, and it is likely that the West was an important market. So, although this appears to be traditional \"peasant\" pottery made by and for local communities, it may actually be a conscious attempt to capitalise on the desire for such traditional goods among modern consumers.","physicalDescription":"Dish of grey earthenware, covered in a white slip and decorated with coloured slips and sgraffito designs under a clear glaze. Decoration consists of large medallions, alternating red and manganese-purple, dotted with white discs, with foliated stems in green in the interspaces.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"earthenware","id":"x29356"},{"text":"slip","id":"AAT10459"},{"text":"glaze","id":"AAT15091"}],"techniques":[{"text":"glazed","id":"AAT53914"},{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Earthenware painted in coloured slips under a clear glaze","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Earthenware","id":"THES48964"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2007BP1226","2007BP1141"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"137 (VA)","id":"THES49876"},"free":"","case":"B1","shelf":"1","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"dish","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Turkestan","id":"x36500"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1800-1900","earliest":"1795-01-01","latest":"1900-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Sir Charles Marling KCMG, CB","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"34.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Dish of grey earthenware decorated with coloured slips, Turkestan, probably Samarkand or Bukhara, 19th century.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"probably Samarkand or Bukhara","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"medallion","id":"x31798"},{"text":"discs","id":"AAT251427"},{"text":"foliated","id":"AAT165104"},{"text":"stems","id":"AAT197258"},{"text":"dots","id":"AAT10145"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["C.135-1909"],"accessionNumberNum":"135","accessionNumberPrefix":"C","accessionYear":1909,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-20","recordCreationDate":"2009-03-25","availableToBook":false}}
