Definition
A type of Persian or Middle Eastern porous pottery with a distinctive glazed surface, named after the port city of Gombroon (now Bandar Abbas) in Iran.
Etymology
From Gombroon (Bandar Abbas), a major Persian Gulf trading port; the name transferred from the place to the distinctive porous ceramic ware that was heavily exported through this port in the 17th-18th centuries.
Kelly Says
Gombroon pottery was the ancestor of modern filter jugs and porous ceramics—17th-century traders saw water seeping through the pores and realized you could create functional pottery that also filtered water naturally.
