ملاحظات
This dish is one of a group of similar wares that may be the work of a designer dubbed the âMaster of the Hyacinthsâ. Motifs like the hyacinths and the jagged saz leaves recall earlier Iznik ceramics, but their treatment and spacing look forward to work of the 1560s and 1570s. The small town of Iznik in north-west Anatolia 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, and often very large.

Deep white dish with large central floral motif, wreathed with jasmine branches and surrounded in the outer area by tulips and hyacinths. The rim, slightly foliated, is decorated with a Chinese-inspired wave border.
