This highly acclaimed book by a leading Islamic art expert explores one of art history’s most overlooked treasures—the vibrant ceramic tiles of Syria and especially its capital Damascus.

Architectural ceramic decoration is one of the most celebrated manifestations of the arts of Islam. Spanning a period from the thirteenth to the twentieth century, the tiles featured in this book exhibit a rich range of influences from Persia, Turkey, China and even Europe.

A renowned specialist in the fields of Islamic and Indian art, Arthur Millner explores the historical context that allowed the uniquely creative achievement of Syrian craftsmen to flourish, and why tiles from this region are less restricted in artistic expression than those from better-known centers of production.

The complex and interconnected nature of tile designs, techniques and color palettes is explored, highlighting what is distinctive about Damascus ceramics and how they relate to tiles produced in other parts of the Islamic world. Finally, the author traces the journey made by many of these tiles to the West, embellishing the interiors of wealthy clients as Islamic art became both fashionable and influential in late nineteenth century art and design.

本书探索了艺术史上最被忽视的瑰宝之一——叙利亚，尤其是其首都大马士革那些色彩鲜艳的陶瓷瓷砖。

建筑陶瓷装饰是最受赞誉的伊斯兰艺术表现形式之一。本书所展示的瓷砖年代跨度从13世纪到20世纪，融合了来自波斯、土耳其、中国乃至欧洲的丰富多元的影响。

亚瑟·米尔纳是伊斯兰艺术和印度艺术领域的著名专家，他深入探究了促使叙利亚工匠独特的创造性成就得以蓬勃发展的历史背景，以及为何该地区的瓷砖在艺术表达上比那些来自更知名生产中心的瓷砖更少受到限制。

书中探讨了瓷砖设计、工艺和色彩搭配的复杂关联性，着重突显了大马士革陶瓷的独特之处，以及它们与伊斯兰世界其他地区所产瓷砖的联系。最后，作者追溯了许多这类瓷砖传入西方的历程——随着伊斯兰艺术在19世纪晚期的艺术和设计领域既成为时尚又产生影响，这些瓷砖为富裕客户的室内装饰增添了光彩。
