Sometimes you feel suddenly connected to the past. You see an old photo, you whistle a song your grandfather always whistled or … you make ceramic birds.
A few months ago I read an article in Ceramics Monthly about the exhibition “Ancient Iranian Ceramics“. It was a small exhibition of ceramics from about 3,000 years ago (!). These ceramic objects where excavated in the area south of the Caspian Sea in what is now modern Iran.
The small installation showed a number of treasures from the collection of the Sackler Gallery. It celebrates the talents of the ancient Iranian potters and shows the high quality of their works.
