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	A band of wave-and-spray motifs covers the flange. An eight-flower scroll with neat leaves fills the well. Within a double circle, a dark blue twisted dragon with a long mane cavorts on four legs amidst scrolling leaves and two florets. Four S-stems with a central lotus leaf and smaller leaves decorate the outside.
