Huqqua bases

17 dicembre 2024

This exotic designation defines a special smoking object. The words stand for the water bottle of the hookah, widespread in the Near East and far beyond. The two examples depicted were recently added to our collection. They show the famous famille rose palette known from Chinese porcelain. This decor is usually intended for European trade, but in this case it was made for the Persian market. We can see that from the shade of the paintwork and especially the turquoise, that's what makes it so special. Whether this pair will be the last acquisitions of this year, we can't say yet.
