Artist Info
UnknownIran/Persian, 1450 - 1550

This piece lacks a signature, and the identity of the artist remains unknown. In the historical context of Persian ceramics, artists and craftsmen occasionally affixed signatures to their creations. This practice was more prevalent in the realm of tilework production, particularly Mihrab tiles, and sporadically observed in dishware. However, it is crucial to underscore that the inclusion of signatures did not constitute a pervasive norm, even in the case of works of elevated quality. Kubachi dishes were often manufactured beyond the confines of court workshops, catering to a wider clientele, and occurrences of artists' signatures on these pieces are infrequent.
