Research questions - narrowing down the field

Sunday, April 14, 2019
In order to keep my research concise and informative, specifically focused around the bowl, I decided to split it into several research questions. These have been listed down below and should all have their own blogpost dedicated to them.
  1. What techniques were used in creating Islamic ceramics? How did these change and develop over time? 
  2. What is the context/history surrounding your object? What was the impact on Islamic art in general? 
  3. What is the significance of the calligraphy round the outside of the bowl/in Islamic art? 
  4. How were decorative motifs used to decorate the bowl - what do they represent in Islamic art? 
  5. What was the function of the bowl? 
  6. What is the contemporary value of the bowl/others in the collection and what is the market for this type of pottery like now? 
Time allowing, an answer to all of the above will also make it into my podcast later on!
