On the origins of tin-opacified ceramic glazes: New evidence from early Islamic Egypt, the Levant, Mesopotamia, Iran, and Central Asia

Moujan Matin, Michael Tite, Oliver Watson

Journal of Archaeological Science > 2018 > 97 > C > 42-66

It has been generally accepted that the beginnings of tin-based opacification of ceramic glazes is associated with the white glazed wares excavated in Iraq and western Iran and dated to the ninth century AD (so-called ‘Samarra-type’ pottery). This paper focuses on an earlier stage in the technological development of tin-opacified glazes, that is, the yellow and white glazed wares produced from the...

Revisiting the beginnings of tin-opacified Islamic glazes

Michael Tite, Oliver Watson, Trinitat Pradell, Moujan Matin, more

Journal of Archaeological Science > 2015 > 57 > Complete > 80-91

The generally accepted theory is that the demand for Islamic glazed pottery started in Abbasid Iraq in the 9th century AD with the production of a range of glazed wares in response to the import of Chinese stonewares and porcelains. However, Oliver Watson has recently proposed that the demand for Islamic glazed pottery first occurred in Egypt and Syria in the 8th century AD resulting in the production...
