Omar Khayyam character jug prototype - Royal Doulton 2005

Omar Khayyam character jug prototype designed by Robert I. Tabbenor and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in 2005. Ghiyāth al-Dīn Abū al-Fatḥ ʿUmar ibn Ibrāhīm Nīshābūrī (1048-1131), commonly known as Omar Khayyam, was a polymath, known for his contributions to mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and poetry. As a mathematician, he is most notable for his work on the classification and solution of cubic equations, where he provided a geometric formulation based on the intersection of conics. There is a tradition of attributing poetry to Omar Khayyam, written in the form of quatrains. This poetry became widely known to the English-reading world in a translation by Edward FitzGerald ("Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam", 1859), which enjoyed great success in the Orientalism of the fin de siècle. The "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" and a bottle form the handle of the jug.
