Abstract

Luster glaze was a novel invention by the artists of the Islamic era which was used instead of gold and silver metals. In the course of its development, this pottery went through three periods, among which the beginning and middle periods are of special importance. The country of Iraq was one of the most important production centers of lusterware at the beginning of Islam, and by exporting this type of pottery,it played an important role in spreading this type of technique. The fall of the Abbasids and the migration of artists to other Islamic lands caused the amalgamation of the Abbasid and native styles. Neyshabur, as one of the centers of lusterware production in the early period, despite being influenced by the Abbasid style, has also had differences in the style of drawing motifs. This research intends to analyze 16 samples of the typical vessels of lusterware in Iraq and Neyshabur, to categorize the patterns, themes and stylistic differences of these two centers and to answer these questions: What are the motifs used in the lusterware of Iraq? What themes does Neyshabur lusterware include? The information and data of the study in this research have been collected using library sources and then analyzed through a descriptive-analytical method. The results of the research indicate such scenes as playing an instrument, the use of eye and dotted motifs in the background, teardrop and circular motifs on the back of the dish, the use of birds, especially pigeons, which are conjugated or accompanied by a leaf on the beak, are among the things that are used in a comparative manner in the pottery of the two centers. Despite these common motifs, differences such as the style of drawing human motifs, including curly hair and big eyes, have distinguished them from Iraqi lusterware vessels. In addition to this, the animal motifs of lusterware in Iraq and Neyshabur are completely influenced by the ecology of these regions,for example, we can mention the pattern of camels and fish-eating chickens, which in Neyshabur samples include other motifs such as cows, pigeons and lions as the Iranian symbols which have been used since before Islam.
