February 16, 2017 By Rebecca Reeve Leave a Comment

The Museum with no Frontiers states that the Abbasid period is when the first distinctly Islamic style of ceramics was developed. This arose from the desire to create objects that imitate Chinese porcelain. Through this experimentation– for the Abbasids did not have the exact same materials as the Chinese– new glazing and decorating techniques were […]

I disagree with the statement “It is not until the Abbasid period that a distinct type and style of ceramic ware emerged that can be distinguished technically as ‘Islamic’.” As we see in Abbasid ceramics, the styles of past dynasties has not completely disappeared from the Islamic decorative canon.

This new wealth and trade also provided for an increase in art production, especially in ceramics. Therefore, it was in the Abbasid period, as […]

“It is not until the Abbasid period that a distinct type and style of ceramic ware emerged that can be distinguished technically as ‘Islamic’.” The curators argue their point by illustrating the shift from pre-Islamic characteristics in art and more specifically ceramics to the style that we today consider to be “Islamic.” First discussing the […]

“It is not until the Abbasid period that a distinct type and style of ceramic ware emerged that can be distinguished technically as ‘Islamic’.” The most notable contribution the Abbasids made to ceramics was the development of new techniques that allowed for a wider range of ceramic designs and styles.
