Islamic glass

Japanese: イスラム・ガラス(英語表記)Islamic glass
Islamic glass
A general term for glassware made in the Islamic cultural sphere, mainly in Western Asia. The area is vast, stretching from Central Asia, India, and Afghanistan to the Iberian Peninsula in the west from the 7th to the 19th centuries. The centers were Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Egypt in Western Asia, and Samarkand and Tashkent in Central Asia, and the heyday was around the 8th to 16th centuries. In particular, Alexandria in Egypt, Damascus in Syria, and Aleppo in Syria became centers of glass craftsmanship in the 10th to 15th centuries, and advanced glass crafts flourished. In the 16th to 19th centuries, glassware became popular in Shiraz in Iran and Delhi in India, and it also began to be made in Istanbul in Turkey. Glassware is diverse, including everyday tableware, lamps, medical and scientific instruments, and ornaments. The main decorative techniques are cutting, enamel coloring, and gilding, but many are finished with a free-blowing finish and fused decoration. Among them, enamel coloring is the most distinctive feature.
