Description: This hardback book titled "Islamic Pottery of the 8th to the 15th Century in the Keir Collection" is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast of Islamic art. Written by Ernst J Grube, this book is a comprehensive guide to the collection of over 378 pages. The book is a first edition, published in 1976 by Faber And Faber Limited London. Some of the most beautiful pottery in the world was produced in Arab and Persian lands between the Arab conquests of the seventh century and the Persian decline in the fifteenth. For warmth of colour, and delicacy, boldness and variety of design, it is unrivalled. The famous lustre wares, which are widely considered to have been the supreme achievement of the Islamic potter and which were to have such an impact throughout Europe, were but one type among many. Slip-painting and undcrglaze painting, incised decoration and polychrome glazing were also used to great effect. Large Hard Backed Book with Dust Jacket, has been price clipped in Excellent Condition
