ملاحظات
This dish is one of a group of similar wares that may be the work of a potter dubbed the 'Master of the Hyacinths'. He was associated with the ceramics produced in the kilns of Iznik, a town in north-west Anatolia. Motifs like the hyacinths and the jagged saz leaves shown here recall the designs on earlier Iznik ceramics. The treatment and spacing, however, looks forward to the Iznik ceramics made in the 1560s and 1570s. Iznik has given its name to some of the most accomplished ceramics produced in the Islamic Middle East. In the mid 15th century, potters there specialised in modest earthenware imitations of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. But in the 1460s or 1470s, under the patronage of Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror, they began to manufacture bowls, dishes and other pieces of fritware that were elegant in shape and decoration. These wares were often very large.
