Safavid ceramic dish painted in grey and black
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 plays a dominant but not exclusive role.

Fiziksel açıklama
The whole dish is reserve-painted in grey on black with a brown rim. A white band separates the 2 different intertwining scrolls in the well and in the centre. Both scrolls consist of regularly spaced rosettes on a ground of compact small clouds. In the middle there is a larger rosette divided into six parts each with a rosette. The outside has 10 panels filled with bracketed medallions of small clouds divided into two by a thick black diagonal line. There is a band of thin crossed lines above the base ring, inside of which six spur marks surround the recessed centre. The controlled design creates an impressive and startling decoration.
