SIX UNGLAZED EARTHENWARE PIERCED WATER JUG FILTERS Fustat, Fatimid Egypt, 10th - 12th centuryComprising six unglazed, incised, and pierced filters, each of similar circular shape but different in size, once possibly used at the junction of the body and neck of unglazed jugs, set in the middle of raised, flared walls, the largest decorated with a sunburst medallion in-filled with an irradiating rosette; the smallest with an abstract interlaced stellar motif; and the remaining four with similar geometric patterns and strapwork motifs.The largest 10.5cm outer diameterThe smallest 4.5cm outer diameter Although several hundreds of such filters have survived, very few are still attached to their original, complete jugs, making scholars wonder how these filters were actually produced and inserted in the jugs. Oliver Watson suggests that each filter was probably cut from a flattened piece of clay, and semi-dried so that it would be strong enough to handle and set into the neck of a jug as the throwing proceeded (O. Watson, Ceramics from Islamic Lands, 2004, p. 132). The largest 10.5cm outer diameter, the smallest 4.5cm outer diameter Qty: 6

AN OTTOMAN SILVER MIRROR SET WITH TURQUOISE AND GARNETS Ottoman Turkey or Eastern Provinces, 19th centuryOf circular shape, with a typical scalloped, flower-collared profile, the reverse of the silver mount encrusted with high-collar settings in-filled with several beads made of turquoise, garnets, glass, and coloured paste, displayed as lobed petals issuing from a central filigree medallion with rosettes and beads, the mount rim of the front enhanced with a circular crown of rosette roundels.27cm diameter Mirrors were pivotal tools in Turkish hamams (public baths) and played a primary role in the Ottoman bathing routine. Often mounted on silver, the present lot, set with various coloured beads, departs from the more classical and standard look of Ottoman mirrors with repoussé mounts, two specimen of which can be seen in this sale (lots 188 and 189). The encrusted decoration is much more in line with armorial paraphernalia, such as shields and helmets, than functional objects, suggesting perhaps that it was a special commission or the original owner's vaunt of his higher social rank. 27cm diameter Qty: 1
