Costly Chinese porcelain had been prized by the highest levels of Islamic society since the Abbasid era in the 8th century.
It was also a source of inspiration for Islamic potters, and under the Il-Khanids, green-glazed pottery was created that clearly imitated Chinese celadon ware. The forms and motifs – for example fish in relief – were also copied from it, but in some cases the pieces were given an unmistakable Islamic look.
