Seljuk ceramics
Seljuk ceramics refer to pottery produced during the Seljuk Empire (11th-14th centuries) in the Middle East, characterized by vibrant colors, intricate black and white geometric and calligraphic patterns, and glazed finishes. These ceramics often served both functional and decorative purposes, reflecting the artistic and cultural influences of the Islamic world. The distinctive styles showcase advanced craftsmanship and evolve from earlier Abbasid traditions, blending local and Persian artistic elements. They remain valuable for understanding medieval Islamic aesthetics, trade, and technological innovations in ceramic glazing techniques.
