Superb Persian islamic lamp oil (Iran) in green glazed ceramic from the XII-XIII century A.D.
The Islamic ceramic oil lamp stands as a testament to both functional ingenuity and artistic expression within the Islamic world. Dating back to various periods in Islamic history, these lamps were designed with a dual purpose in mind: to provide practical illumination and to serve as objects of beauty.
Crafted from clay and intricately decorated, these lamps often featured geometric patterns, floral motifs, and intricate calligraphy, reflecting the cultural diversity and artistic richness of the Islamic world. The reservoirs of these lamps held oil, with a wick protruding to provide a steady flame.
These lamps played a significant role in daily life, casting warm, flickering light in homes, mosques, and other gathering places. They also held religious symbolism, representing the spiritual light and guidance sought by those in the Islamic faith.
Today, Islamic ceramic oil lamps are cherished as historical artifacts and valuable cultural symbols, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the Islamic civilizations that produced them.
