- In 9th century Iraq, potters who could master the lustre technique were considered alchemists - people who could turn dull clay into something almost gold. We teamed up with ceramicist Andrew Hazelden to see if he could recreate a 9th century Iraqi lustre bowl in the British Museum collection.

Well said!
Thank you so much
Thank you for this love, I wish you success and happiness, we also love you my greetings 🌹 you from Baghdad, the capital of Iraq,
You are amazing carrying the legacy of history regardless of origin but to keep the human momentum of humanity rich intelligence
Had wondered sometimes how lustreware was made: appreciated seeing it in action, as well as the calm and atmospheric presentation. Many thanks!
Marvellous! Art and technique at the same time!
Andrew best wishes for your new pottery at Hewins Wood Farm Bradfield, Berkshire. Fantastic lustre bowls and pitchers .
Thank u Stephen I will send you my Xmas show invite
This is fascinating. Wonderful work.
What a lovely career, 30 years creating beautiful, bespoke pieces that people will cherish for generations to come. Cheers. Thank you to the British Museum for enriching our lives with the arts.
I sometimes wish I could go back in time, this is the next best thing! You're very skilled!👍🌞
Lovely video. Thank you so much. The works seen at Mr. Hazelden's website remind me of another British ceramicist who worked during the late 19th C, William de Morgan.
Fascinating! So interesting to watch a potter at work and hear about the processes involved - very skilled. Wonderful to think about these processes being invented and used and developed so long ago. Alchemy indeed!
Beautiful!
Oh wow! What a wonderful process thank you for sharing. Especially interested in the idea and process of introducing fire through the peep hole to reduce oxygen plus the mixing of the glaze. Wow!
Beautiful pots👍👍that looks like a hard technique to master, getting the temps right with the reduction and oxidation
I know so much about pottery l thought it could only be fired once.
Thank you for correcting my ignorance.
something fun ive come across, Americans refer to the first fire as a Bisque, British call it Biscuit.

Iraq have been the center of knowledge specially at Abbasid Caliphate, most of the books and manuscripts been destroyed by The Mongols .. thanks a lot for sharing this informations . Wish you all the best
Well done 👍.
Reminds of that pot and copper they found in Iraq that was a battery.
Intriguing... and a beautiful end product... 👍
An interesting look at pottery history. Thank you.👍 Makes one wonder who was the first who came up with that sequence, or how many centuries it took? :)
Very interesting and worthwhile video. I wonder how many fakes are out there in the marketplace.
How have safety considerations changed the composition of the glazes he uses from ones used then?
Yea I wondered this too?!
The only change really is that I don't use lead in the glaze also it's likely the early potters where not aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide while reducing the oxygen
Looks a lot easier than what the Chinese were making.

But is it HOLO?
Wasn't it called Persia in the 9th century?
Not really, Iraq was right in the centre of the Abbasid Caliphate at the time.
iran was Persia
It was called Mesopotamia, black land for the large number of cultivated lands, Babylonian civilization, Assyrian civilization, Iran was called Persia.
Similarly to me, pottery can also be fired.
The title is lack-lustre . As first commenter with all appended privileges of that office, I petition a formal re-naming to "bowling with Andy- UNINTENTIAL ASMR - 440 GHZ HEALING FREQUENCIES FOR HEALTH WHILE STUDYING" and have him slide his finger around the bowl rim like an idiot.
