Summary
This fine jug exemplifies the way that the style of Islamic metalwork was adapted for the European market. It is decorated with arabesques, but there are no medallions or inscriptions typical of Islamic design. Once believed to have been produced in Venice by Muslim metalworkers, this jug is now thought to come from Iran. The signature on the inside lip reads: "Decorated by master Qasim."
