This one from the Chicago Art Museum was Afhganistan 11th-12th Century. Exciting to me because I've done some experiments like this. This is quite a large platter, 15" dia.

This is the ancient potter's wheel from Mesopotamia in the Oriental Institute Museum

The Museum catalogue is beautiful, but I'm going to wait to buy it until it comes down in price, which Jenny & Deva say they do after the show is down and then maybe a couple of years.

Sure, the skill is more important than the tools.
Some of the ceramics they had on display were BEAUTIFULLY thrown and elegant shapes so i's possible to do very handsome work.
