ملاحظات
This dish is an example of the brilliantly coloured ceramics Iranian potters created in the period 1600-1700. Often, as here, they used single colour glazes. Many of these wares have moulded or carved decoration, as on the rim of this piece. In the 16th century, ceramic production in Iran was on a modest scale. When the capital moved to Isfahan around 1600, the production of luxury dishes and wall tiles in a wide variety of styles and techniques rapidly increased. We cannot identify a particular centre of production of ceramic vessels. Surviving pieces illustrate the many techniques the potters used. These included underglaze painting and coloured glazes, and lustre, which was revived after 1650.

Fritware, slipped and glazed
Fiziksel açıklama
Large fritware plate covered with a monochrome lavender-blue glaze, under a white slip. The foot-ring has been wiped clean of glaze before firing. Slight chips to outer edge. The only decoration is in the rim and consists of ridged lines towards the centre of the plate, bordered on the outer and inner edge with a fine line.
