ROSE WATER SPRINKLER (PC-119) Region From: Possibly Persian – most likely painted in Persia. Estimated Date of Production: late 1800s. Dimensions: 337 mm in height, 101 mm in circumference. Weight: 267 grams. Colour: Medium blue. Technique: Glass pontilled, freeblown, vertical ribbing in neck. Decorated with gilt and flowers. Description: Imperfections are obvious in this sprinkler – the sides of the mouth touch, which can’t have helped in use, and there are manufacture lines on the curved neck – the grind marks on the base to flatten the pontil are somewhat ever. Condition: Gilt is somewhat faded, obviously this piece was handled and used. Provenance: Purchased August 2013, from Michigan, USA. Somewhat similar to PC-036 and PC-037, and yet definitely different. Literature: none. Related Works outside this collection: nothing quite like this yet. |
