Persian pottery (sometimes called Iranian poterry) reffers to the pottery works made by the artists of Persia (Iran) and its history goes back to early Neolithic Age (7th millennium BCE).[1]
Through the centuries, Persian potters have responded to the demands and changes brought by political turmoil by adopting and refining newly introduced forms and blending them into their own culture. This innovative attitude has survived through time and influenced many other cultures around the world.
There are big collections of Persian potteries at British Museum, Hermitage Museum and Royal Ontario Museum. In 2013 Royal Ontario Museum with cooperation of Brill Publications in the Netherlands published a special book about this art entitled "Persian Pottery in the First Global Age".[2]
