Ilkhanid Lustre ware Plate with Khayyam Poetry

A refined expression of Persian ceramic artistry, this Ilkhanid-style deep lusterware plate with a folded rim revives the elegance of historical Persian craftsmanship through a contemporary handmade interpretation.

The composition features a harmonious combination of floral and geometric motifs, reflecting the visual language of Ilkhanid decorative traditions. Around the rim, carefully inscribed verses by Omar Khayyam (Khayyam of Nishapur) add a poetic dimension to the piece, blending ceramic art with classical Persian literature.

Created using the traditional Persian lusterware technique, the surface reveals rich metallic reflections that shift subtly with light, enhancing the depth and character of the artwork.

Handcrafted in Winter 2025 at the Tavassolian Brothers Workshop in Natanz, Iran, this work is produced as a one-of-a-kind piece, preserving a rare artistic heritage through master craftsmanship.
