Critics Review
“[A] detailed guide to more than 1,000 years of ceramics in a private collection of art from Iran…Lavishly illustrated, it includes newly commissioned photographs of some 250 objects.”—Apollo Magazine
“This outstanding publication closely examines some 250 pieces by means of new photography and extended captions, with altogether well over 500 illustrations, maps, and an enormous amount of scholarly comment…a thrilling selection of an art that is all too unfamiliar to many.”—Marina Vaizey, V&A Magazine
“The whole volume is beautifully designed and produced, and for many years will no doubt become a key reference work on Iranian glazed ceramics of the Islamic period (especially the medieval and early modern material).”—Richard Piran McClary, HALI
