Major centres=Damascus area & esp Fars (Iran), exported to China, India+Europe; also apparently some production in Spain :)

YAY! thank you! I wondered if this was the case, and it sounds like it is. Have a citation offhand? (if not no worries!)

Ah, interesting! My understanding is some local production but primarily eastern product exported from Damascus area/Fars :)
