영어 초록

The use of Arabic epigraphy is one of the characteristic features of Islamic art. Especially various types of pottery produced at Kashan, a town in Central Iran, from the twelfth to fourteenth centuries, including those with luxurious decorative techniques such as luster-painted wares and mina’i wares among others, are heavily inscribed. The contents of the inscriptions are important clues to understand the pottery production in Kashan.
The inscriptions can be divided into the informative section with a date and a signature of the potter and the main text of the inscription. Although the informative section is crucial for dating the objects, it is not necessarily included in the inscription because they are used to fill the space after finishing the main text. The informative inscriptions may provide paternal relationship of the potters as well as criteria to search forged inscriptions.
The contents of the main texts are either religious or secular. Since the religious inscriptions are never applied on vessels, they are found only on tiles. The religious tiles are originally from Shi’ite mausolea because the Kashan potters were devoted to the Shi’ite faith. The tiles bear quotations from the Qur’an or from a hadith. The secular inscriptions include blessings for anonymous owners of the vessels in Arabic or quotations of Persian poetry.
It is not always easy to decipher the inscriptions due to the positions and directions of their letters. Therefore, the inscriptions might not to be read precisely but to signify a certain message by their existence on pottery.
