Notes
A wide, flat, colored underglaze dish decorated with black and blue decorations. The decoration consists of winding branches of arabesque and wavy, winding patterns. These are distinct formations of traditional (Rumi) and Chinese (Hattai) arabesques. These patterns were given the name Rumi-Hattai. This style characterizes the early phase of Iznik ceramics, when potters created their decorative patterns drawing inspiration from Iranian and Chinese arts, contemporary Ottoman metalwork, manuscript illumination, and others. The part connecting the edge and the bottom was left empty, creating a transitional area that highlighted the edge decorations.
