The Potteries of Persia : being a brief history of the art of ceramics in the Near East
The Potteries of Persia is a 1909 Paris book by the collector Dikran G. Kelekian, a brief history of ceramics in the Near East written for connoisseurs and collectors. Its halftone photographs show ewers, bottles and a plate with lustre and carved or pierced surfaces, giving designers a record of Persian ceramic pattern, from lattice-pierced walls and spiral borders to radial plate compositions and floral vine painting.
