Abstract

Glassmaking as one of the most prominent arts in Iran has flourished throughout history despite the different vicissitudes occurred in Iran. In the result of several millennia of Iranian art history, valuable glassworks have been left among which this study focused on the glass bowls. The study of glass bowls focusing on its constituent elements, forms and decorations under the title of morphology can lead to understanding the background and historical evolution of Iranian glassmaking. The aim of this study is to present the evolution of the art of glassmaking over time by examining glass bowls. Samples of Pre-Islamic glass bowls have been collected and studied in order to find an answer to the fundamental question of what changes have been made morphologically in Iranian glass bowls throughout history? The research method is descriptive-analytical and the data was collected from library sources. The results show that the method of making glass bowls of the Islamic period of Iran is in fact a continuation of the method of Pre-Islamic period, while mixed with the initiative and innovation of Muslim glassmakers. Pre-Islamic glass bowls during the Achaemenid period were made by pressing the mold and in the Sassanid era by blowing into the mold additionally. glass bowls of this period had similar shapes to hemispherical molds and were often colorless and decorated with cuts. The cutting methods of these bowls were surface, double surface and embossed surface, and the most widely used is honeycomb design. The glass bowls of the first century of Islam had the similar shapes to the bowls of the previous era, thus decorations were taken from the decorations of the samples of the Pre-Islamic era. These decorations were created by surface, double surface and linear cutting on the given works which the latter one was marked in the glass bowls of Islamic period. In the following centuries, glass bowls were often made and decorated by blowing into the molds. The decorations of the Pre-Islamic glass bowls were mostly pure geometric abstracts including circular and honeycomb motifs, two specimens of which were decorated with plant motifs. Over the centuries, these ornaments were continued and iconic-abstract ornaments containing animal, plant and human motifs and purely abstract ornaments including written and non-geometric motifs have been used by the glassmakers.
