Birmingham Persian Wall is a site-specific installation of twenty-one vessels—some over three feet in diameter—that cluster on four adjacent walls in the museum's lobby. Each unit, in a rich shade of yellow, orange or blue, bears a rippling pattern that is clear or in a contrasting color. The vessels, each attached to a cylindrical metal post, float about five inches off the wall.
Tall, glass wine goblet with a purple bowl, fluted and with applied opaque white glass that forms a cloudy, speckled surface within the flutes, the white extends to the stem, forming threads in a lattice-like pattern in the clear glass, the round foot likewise of clear glass.
A press-molded circular pitcher with pink glaze, a broad spout, and tall neck decorated in relief with a grapevine motif. The handle is in the form of a greyhound, which appears to be climbing into the jug. The body is decorated in relief with hunting scenes: hounds attacking a stag on one side and mastiffs attacking a boar on the other.
Triangles quilt with green and plaids.
