Ceremonial Spittoon or Basin

This basin, as with the mosque lamp CMA 1981.10 [https://www.clevelandart.org/art/1981.10], is representative of reproductions of Mamluk glass that were prominent in the late 1800s in Europe during a period of resurgence of interest in Islamic art. At this time, collectors and artists revived the techniques of enameling and gilding that are hallmarks of Mamluk glass.
