Catalogue Note
Pour deux coupes comparables dans la collection Khalili, voir : (Grube, E., Cobalt and Lustre: the First Centuries of Islamic Pottery, 1994, p.176, n°172). Attribuées aux productions de Nishapur par Peter Morgan, suite à la découverte d'un moule sur place (Morgan, P. in Grube, op. cit., p.158). Ce type de forme est directement emprunté à l'art du métal, par ex.: une coupe de la Keir Collection (Fehévari, G., p.102, n°127).
