Abstract

In 2014 the Ashmolean Museum conserved and examined one of the largest and most handsome ceramic vessels in its renowned Islamic art collection. An accomplished example of early thirteenth-century Persian lusterware from the bequest of Sir Alan Barlow, the salver had an unusually deformed profile and uneven wear that pointed at a number of past interventions. Some of these had already been uncovered in 2008 when the object was prepared for reinstallation in the revamped Ashmolean. However, it was only when analyzed by a team of inhouse specialists and scientists from Cranfield University and the Research Laboratory for Archaeology at the University of Oxford, that the extraordinary nature of its “restoration” could be assessed. This article presents the results of this collaborative effort and contributes important evidence to the thorny issue of the faking and forging of Islamic ceramics in the early twentiethc century, when collecting Islamic decorative arts was at its peak.

“真实体验的幻觉”:阿什莫林博物馆的Luster Bowl
2014年,阿什莫林博物馆保存并检查了其著名伊斯兰艺术收藏中最大、最漂亮的陶瓷器皿之一。艾伦·巴洛爵士(Sir Alan Barlow)遗赠的13世纪早期波斯光泽器皿是一个成功的例子,这种托盘有着异常变形的轮廓和不均匀的磨损,这表明了过去的一些干预措施。其中一些已经在2008年被发现,当时该物体正准备在改造后的阿什莫林重新安装。然而,只有当克兰菲尔德大学和牛津大学考古研究实验室的内部专家和科学家团队进行分析时,才能评估其“修复”的非凡性质。本文介绍了这一合作成果,并为20世纪初伊斯兰陶瓷的伪造和锻造这一棘手问题提供了重要证据,当时伊斯兰装饰艺术收藏正处于鼎盛时期。
