Highlights of lustre bowls and Iznik tiles in the Fitzwilliam collection
Kiln-fired stories
Highlights from the workshops on ceramics included lustre bowls and Iznik tiles, which can be viewed in the Fitzwilliam Museum collection.
Lustre bowls (Iraqi and British)
“These stood out partly because we were able to see the bowls up close and appreciate the beauty. Lustre is especially captivating: how it glistens! The size and shape of the bowls is wonderful and the decoration. I love bowls!”
