Persian lustre vases

Wallis, Henry, 1830-1916 · 1899 · London : Printed for private circulation · 6 pictures

Persian lustre vases is a privately printed London book from 1899 by Henry Wallis, a study of Iranian ceramics aimed at collectors and scholars of decorative arts. Its plates show lustre-glazed vessels with bold geometric and vegetal patterns, and a designer could draw on their interlaced bands, rosettes and star-shaped panels for surface pattern work.
