Dish, fritware, painted in underglaze blue and black on white, Iran, Safavid period, 1600-40
Tarihsel bağlam
Persian blue and white ceramics were primarily produced during the rule of the Safavid Dynasty in Iran (early 16th Century to early 18th Century). Iranian potters were almost exclusively preoccupied with making wares in the styles of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, some close copies and some more fanciful. Echoes of earlier traditions remained, in particular in the black-under-turquoise colour scheme that dates back in Iran to the end of the 12th Century. Towards the end of the 16th Century there was a widening of interest, that blossomed in the 17th Century to a wide range of styles and techniques in which blue and white played a dominant but not exclusive role.

Fiziksel açıklama
This dish, inspired by Chinese porcelain, is the first of a series of three large dishes with figures. Its extended rim brackets command the width of the eight panels filled with different flowery branches. Their open-ended dividers have scroll or swastika patterns above a knotted ribbon. An eight-bracket Kraak frame surrounds a scene with two figures. A hatted scholar, with his bare left leg stretched out, sits on a rocky mound. His left hand holds a long-necked bottle; his right hand is on his heart. Behind him a small bottle is set on a dotted table with only two legs. On the left a thin rock border reaches to the volutes of a cloud with a pine and two bamboo trees by its side and two small birds in mid-air. Only part of the other figure dressed in white is visible. He has a sharp nose and hair pulled back. The eight leafy peach panels on the outside have comma dividers.
