The art of Iranian pottery contains the best traditions of Iranian sculpture, painting and architecture. Kashan is one of the centers of production of Iranian pottery. This settlement became known for innovative methods in the creation of pottery. Kashan is famous for having developed a special formula for double clay baking, which allowed Kashan to maintain the originality of the art of glazing. Ceramic slabs made of this type were widely spread in the 13th-14th centuries. A 13th century porcelain slab is one sample of Iranian pottery; it represents an octagonal star specific to Iranian culture, with pictures of the tree of life and speckled rabbits in the center. The edges of the slab carry Persian inscriptions taken from the epic poem “Shahnameh”. The Iranian porcelain slab is preserved in the British Museum (London, Great Britain). Obverse: the coat of arms of the Republic of Armenia and national ornaments. Reverse: the porcelain slab against the Iranian ornament. Designed by Harutyun Samuelian. Minted in the Mint of Poland.
