Abstract

Designs over Islamic pottery are1 among the most beautiful and yet so full of mystery decorative motifs of Islamic Art that represent various aspects of past people, s lives. Interpretation of meanings and concepts behind these seemingly ordinary motifs requires knowledge from various sources that influence their use, including mysticism, astronomy, literature, etc. The important point in the interpretation of these motifs is attention to the lack of purely decorative or aesthetic use of motifs. The present study is an attempt to establish a connection with some of these beautiful designs and decipher their meanings. As we know astronomy had importance for various religious and nonreligious reasons in the Islamic period and obviously potters couldn, t ignore that for attracting more customers and were encouragedto apply astronomical signs. Obviously identification of different kinds of theses motifs can show us condition and amount of relation between pottery art with other life aspects of people, especially scientific or even superstitious ones. In this way main decorative characteristics and most important factors of application and concepts of astronomical motifs, especiallyindividual Constellations in many of typical potteries with these motifs from early Islamic period until Safavid period, havebeen discussed and analyzed. The objective of the study, besides the classification of all the types of Constellations depicted on Islamic-era potteries and their qualities, is the extent of their compliance with the examples in the book of Sovarolkavakib. The research method is descriptive-analyticalwith a comparative approach. Statistical population is consisted of elevensignificant examples of Islamic-era pottery wares with Constellations motifs, selected from different books or museums and after detecting their period of making and method of decoration, their astronomical concepts have been compared with astronomical designs of the book of SovarolkavakibAlsufi. Based on the findings of the research, Constellations motifs on the Islamic potteries have a vast variety and with regard to the more emphasized focus of the potters on decorative factors, they have been changed depending on the artisans’ tastes and aren’ t completely similar to Constellations examples in astronomy manuscripts.
