Imitation Celadon Bowl with Fish
14th century

By uniting East and West Asia for almost a century, the Mongol Empire allowed for active trade along the major routes. Iranian potters successfully imitated various types of East Asian ceramics. Here a pale greenish glaze covers a fritware dish, emulating, at least in appearance, Chinese celadon wares.
