Notes	Dish, fritware, underglaze painted in blue and black on white, Iran, Safavid period, 1600-1700
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	Plate of fritware, painted in blue and outlined with black under a clear glaze. Four leafy S-stems with central quartered rosettes cover the outer flange. The outer well has four lobed panels enclosing pairs of Chinese books with sketchy ribbons. The dividers are panels with commas . The broad flange is painted with seven triple flowers connected by scrolling foliage. Four lobed panels are filled with a flower, surrounded by five leaves around the well with strings of jewels as dividers. A double circle frames the centre, where it is almost impossible to detect the profile of a duck swimming below a mass of dotted and striped leaves and reeds. There is an imitation Chinese square mark in blue.
Üretim	Panelled landscape design inspired by Chinese Kraak porcelain.
