According to the theory of transfer of Zarrinfam technology from glass to pottery, Zarrinfam technique was first used by the glassmakers in Egypt in the second century (AH) and then this technology was gradually transferred from Egypt to Syria, Iraq and Iran. It has been transferred by the Iraqi potters to the potteries in the third century (AH). The treatise "Al-Durrah Al-Maknuna" written by Jabir Ibn Hayyan was written in the second century (AH) contained various instructions regarding Zarrinfam. Therefore, in this research, the above theory will be analyzed and compared with the treatise "Al-Durrah Al-Maknuna". The findings show that the transfer of Zarrinfam from glass to pottery is in line with the instructions of the treatise, meaning that Zarrinfam technology was first invented by the glassmakers and then modeled by the potters. However, the results of research and historical analysis of the dissertation do not confirm with the above theory in the spatial dimension.
Keywords: Zarrinfam Glass, Zarrinfam Pottery, Zarrinfam Origin, Al-Durrah Al-Maknuna, Jaber Ibn Hayyan.
