Fragment of an Imported Chinese Bowl, late 7th–first half 8th century, Excavated in Iran, Nishapur. Made in China, Earthenware; applied relief medallion under three color (sancai) glaze, 2 5/8 in. (6.7 cm), Ceramics, Chinese ceramics were highly valued and commonly imitated in Nishapur. The Nishapur imitations took different forms: the whiteness of the Chinese porcelains led local potters to develop the opaque white glazes with which they covered their wares, while the three-color sancai Chinese imports led to the invention of splashware, made by dripping brown, yellow, and green glazes over their pots
