19th-century Qajar-period Persian Ceramic Bowl With A Persian Gol-o-bolbol Design: "the Nightingale And The Rose."
This Persian bowl, dating from the Qajar period (19th century), features a polychrome underglaze decoration in shades of green, blue, and manganese. At the bottom of the bowl is a bird perched on a flowering branch.
This motif is a classic example of the Persian artistic tradition known as Gol-o-Bolbol (literally “the rose and the nightingale”). In Persian poetry and Sufi mysticism, the nightingale represents the human soul on a spiritual quest, captivated by the beauty of the rose, which symbolizes divine creation and absolute beauty.
Four small chips are visible along the rim; however, it remains very sturdy and in good overall condition.
