Description:Excerpt from Bulletin of the Pennsylvania Museum: April, 1910 This tile (which is shown in the third illustration), is a representative exam ple of the arab-mongolian type. It is perso-islamic rather than pure Iranian. The white stanniferous enamel is thick and heavy. The superimposed luster is identical with that which is found on some of the large Hispano - Moresco plaques. It is of brownish yellow tone, but when viewed at an angle it changes to a bluish violet, of the same quality as that of the madreperla lusters of Valencia, which were introduced later into Italy by the Moors. We are there fore forced to the conclusion that these star-shaped tiles were made under Sara cenic in uence, modified to some extent by the introduction of Mongolian tech nique, as exhibited in'the paintings. The glaze and luster were purely Sara cenic, since neither tin enamel nor luster produced from silver and copper was used in China. Moreover, we do not find in the potteries of Rakka (syria), Rhodes, Anatolia, Damascus or Turkey, all of which reveal a strong Persian character, any indications of the use of tin glaze or metallic lusters. This negative evidence goes far to prove that stanniferous enamel and iridescent decorations did not originate with the Persian potters. Had they been em ployed generally in Persia they would undoubtedly have reappeared in the imitative pottery of these more recent centres. In view of these facts we are forced to class these early lustered wares as Saracenic, and, although they come from Persia, we are strongly inclined to group them with the Hispano - Moresco pottery, to which they bear a stronger resemblance than they do to any of the recognized wares of purely Persia-n origin.
