Abu zaid zameer wikipedia english

Abū Zayd ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī Zayd (Persian: سید شمس‌الدین بن محمد بن أبی زید حسنی کاشانی; fl. 1186–1219 in Kashan), commonly referred to as Abu Zayd or Abu Zayd Kashani (ابو زید کاشانی), is the most famous potter of medieval Iran, who worked in the two most expensive overglaze techniques, enamel (mina'i) and luster, and left behind the greatest number of signed works.

At least 15 tiles and vessels signed by Abu Zayd are known,^[2] dated from 26 March 1186 to 1219.

The earliest known work by Abu Zayd is an enameled bowl in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (see illustration), one of the first examples of mina'i ware, so the group has been assigned to him.^[3] Despite this fact Abu Zayd is best known for his lustrewares.^[2] As Oliver Watson has pointed out, enameled bowl from 1186 is too accomplished to have been a first work, and Abu Zayd must have made earlier objects that we do not know about.
