Footed goblet decorated in cobalt and lustre, Iran, late 17th century.“The decoration on this footed goblet is a combination of dense lustre over clear and cobalt blue glazes. This is a feature of many lustre wares produced in Iran during the period 1650-1700.Around 1650, a group of Iranian potters revived the technique of lustre decoration, which had not been used on any scale in Iran for three centuries. We do not know how the technique was revived, or where the potters produced their distinctive wares. The 17th-century lustre ware included a wide range of small vessels, such as this goblet.” -- source link
