Some of you may already know about the interactions of China and the Islamic world via ceramics.
Sancai and later blue and white ware and polychrome ceramics were developed partly in response to imports from Mesopotamia of lead glazed earthenware polychrome and later Iznik ware was partly a response to imports of Chinese blue and white wares.
Another example of how the interaction went both ways is this #Ilkhanid #phoenix #ceramic #tile
The rhythm and layout is very Chinese but note the Islamic influence on the floral ornaments !
No culture exists in isolation.
Is this "cultural appropriation" or interchange and fusion?
