2 In his book, Ceramics of the Islamic World in the Tareq Rajab
Museum (London & New York, I. B. Tauris, 2000), Géza
Fehévári draws attention to a symposium
sponsored by the Percival David Foundation, London (1970),
in which William Watson stated that Tang splashed wares
were a funerary art not made for export. In another paper,
Jessica Rawson, M. Tite and M. J. Hughes put forward the
possibility that Tang sancai wares, which were exported, may
have influenced green splashed wares found in the Near East.
