Abu Taher (family)

Decorative tile from an inscriptional frieze which once adorned the tomb complex of Ali Ibn Ja'afar in Qom, dated 1334 (AH 734) and bearing the signature of Yūsof; inscribed: "and the earth, in six d[ays]" – Qur'an 7:54.[1]

The Persian Abū Ṭāher family of Kāšān produced four generations of potters active between 1205 and 1333 (AH 602–734) whose signatures appear on surviving works, especially the tiled meḥrābs of mosques.[2]
