Abstract

This essay attempts to do a typological study on one of the most applicable Lighting Devices-i. e. Oil Lamps-of the early Islamic period from Iran. Although introduction of Iranian Ceramic Oil Lamps goes back to the pre Islamic period of Iran, the most remarkable changes in the design process of these products appeared during this period. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to study and follow design process of Iranian Ceramic Oil Lamps of early Islamic period. This essay enquires about the most important developments on the history of Oil Lamps design. In order to reach the goal of this study and to do this research I have used descriptive analytical methodology of research and collected a great deal of needed information by desk study methods of data gathering. In addition, in order to delineate as good as possible the changes and developments appeared on various types of Iranian Ceramic Oil Lamps from early Islamic period, here in this study I decided to use a specific framework for systematically studying history of objects’ design suggested by an Indian university professor named Kumar Vyas. According to Vyas, in order to be a major landmark a moment in the history of an object should indicate five kinds of changes: changes in design and structure of devices, changes in appearance of them, changes in methods of manufacturing, changes in the ways they have been used, and finally changes in objects’ relationship with their users. Therefore, one can categorize the most important developments in designs and types of Iranian Ceramic Oil Lamps in three main groups. The first group includes those Ceramic Oil Lamps with open, bowl shaped bodies and projected wick holders, Second group have globular enclosed bodies with elongated tubular wick holders. Finally, footed lamps with central stem on a plate shaped stand recognize the last group of our typology of Iranian Ceramic Oil Lamps from early Islamic period.
