Pottery production in the second half of the 13th century AH in Tehran examining, Introducing and classifying the pottery obtained from the restoration and renovation operations of the Ettehadieh historical complex

Pottery of the Qajar era, unlike the architecture and tile work of this era, has been less studied by archaeologists and researchers of the art history of the Qajar era, and our information about pottery of the Qajar era is very limited compared to other periods of Islamic art history. Although some travelogues of this era refer to some pottery production centers in Iran, there is still no comprehensive information on pottery techniques and innovations in this era, as well as the main production and distribution centers of pottery in Iran during the Qajar era. During the renovation and restoration of the historical Ettehadieh complex in Tehran’s Lalehzar neighborhood, which was carried out in 2006 , a large volume of pottery from the middle of the Qajar era, especially the Naseri era (1264-1313 AH), was found and examined and classified in this research. Based on the data obtained, this research aims to answer what were the decorative features and pottery forms of pottery produced in Tehran in the second half of the Qajar era, and which group of pottery species and decorative patterns were repeated more in this pottery collection. As a result of this study, a wide range of glazes, decorative techniques, and pottery forms were identified, which are mentioned in the text of the article.Pottery of the Qajar era, unlike the architecture and tile work of this era, has been less studied by archaeologists and researchers of the art history of the Qajar era, and our information about pottery of the Qajar era is very limited compared to other periods of Islamic art history.
