介绍（中）	这块碎片是在公元637年被阿拉伯穆斯林军队征服的萨珊大都市和行政首都Ctesiphon发掘的。这座城市在阿拉伯语中被称为al-Mada'in，或"城市"，因为它的面积很广。阿拉伯历史学家沉迷于描述al-Mada'in/Ctesiphon的宏伟纪念碑，这些纪念碑困扰着穆斯林统治者，可能获得了与其帝国历史有关的象征意义。这就是Taq-i Kisra的例子，这是一个令人印象深刻的大小的ivan（一侧敞开的拱形大厅），部分被拆除，以在新首都巴格达的哈里发建筑中重新使用其砖块。像这样的碎片是在一个名为Selman Pak V的遗址发掘的，证明了在伊斯兰时期早期，Ctesiphon的城市地区继续被占领在9世纪伊拉克陶工取得的进步中，也有类似的陶瓷。除了技术创新，如开发一系列釉料的不透明技术和使用钴蓝，陶工的作品证明了他们的艺术创造力。釉中蓝底白底的结合就是新美学（"蓝白"）的一个例子。这种先进的陶器生产得益于广泛的商业网络，包括原材料的回收和成品的传播。用于蓝色的钴，在伊拉克几乎没有，是从高加索或伊朗进口的。伊拉克的"蓝白"器皿在中国东部都有发现，可能是也可能不是后来中国青花瓷器的灵感来源。
介绍（英）	This fragment was excavated at Ctesiphon, the Sasanian metropolis and administrative capital conquered by Arab Muslim armies in 637. The city was known in Arabic as al-Mada’in, or “the cities”, for its extended area. Arab historians indulge in describing al-Mada’in/Ctesiphon’s grand monuments, which obsessed Muslim rulers and may have acquired a symbolic meaning related to its imperial past. This was the case of the Taq-i Kisra, an impressively-sized ivan (a vaulted hall with one side open) partially dismantled to reuse its bricks in caliphal buildings in the new capital Baghdad. Finds like this fragment, which was excavated at a site named Selman Pak V, attest to the continued occupation of Ctesiphon’s urban area in the early Islamic period. Similar ceramics count amongst the advances achieved by Iraqi potters in the 9th century. Beside technical innovations, such as the development of a range of opacifying techniques for glazes and the use of cobalt blue, the potters’ works attest of their artistic creativity. The combination of in-glaze-painted blue on a white background is an example of the new aesthetic (“blue and white”). Such advanced pottery productions profited of broad commercial networks both for the retrieval of raw materials and the diffusion of the finished product. The cobalt employed for the blue, nearly absent in Iraq, was imported from the Caucasus or Iran. Iraqi “blue and white” vessels have been found as far East as China and may or may not have inspired the later blue and white Chinese porcelains.
