ملاحظات
The form and decoration of this dish is inspired by Chinese ceramics of the late Yuan and early 15th century. An interesting feature of the decoration is how the artist has encircled the flowerhead in the centre with a leafy stem which appears to issue from the rim of the eight-pointed star around it. Such decorative schemes rarely appear in Chinese porcelain, where the scrolls are usually continuous. There is a similar dish in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (EA1978.1484), which appears to have been made in the same workshop. This workshop has yet to be identified, but it has links with Ottoman production of the period 1510 to 1540 in terms of its fabric and decoration. This suggests that the Safavid dishes may have been produced by Iranian potters who had moved to Turkey or that Ottoman potters were imitating earlier Safavid models. Islamic copies replaced highly prized 'antique' Chinese tablewares no longer in production in these designs.
