Bowls with Repeating Inscription, 'Blessing', late 9th–early 10th century, Found Iran, Nishapur, Earthenware; black slip with white slip decoration under transparent glaze, H. 2 1/2 in. (6.4 cm), Ceramics, In contrast to the many examples that feature black writing on a white ground, this calligraphic bowl is one of a smaller group made with white slip decoration on a black slip ground. In this case, the flourishes at the tops of the letters make them almost look like the birds found on numerous Nishapur ceramics
