Packet 1: Bonus 7

Answer the following about lustreware ceramics from the Islamic world, for 10 points each.

[10e] Many Islamic lustreware techniques evolved from minā’ī (“MIH-nah-ee”) ware, which used a powder of this material called frit to mimic porcelain. Dale Chihuly mainly creates “blown” works in this medium.

ANSWER: glass [accept blown glass]

[10m] The incorporation of Islamic tin-glazing techniques into maiolica spurred the development of Delftware and this tin-glazed imitation of porcelain. It shares its name with a sintered blue ancient Egyptian ceramic.

ANSWER: faience

[10h] This Persian city, home to the Abū Ṭāher family and Abū Zayd ibn Muḥammad, so dominated the minā’ī industry that its name became a Farsi synonym for tiles. Maqṣūd, a man from this city, produced the Ardabil Carpet.

ANSWER: Kāshān (Abū Zayd ibn Muḥammad is often known as Abū Zayd Kāshānī.)
