The defining elements of this bowl\u2014cloud scrolls, cartouches, interlacing roundels, and the "Y" pattern\u2014point to Safavid Tabriz as the most likely place of production. Immediately below the rim is a Shi'i prayer in naskh script. Enclosed in the cartouches are verses invoking abundance and happiness. The name of the owner, Qasim ibn Husain Qannadi, the artist\u2019s signature, and the date of manufacture appear further down, in the row of quatrefoils. The bowl can also be linked to the late fifteenth\u2011century Turkmen school of metalwork, which had close stylistic ties to the arts of the Ottoman and Mamluk empires.
