Notes	Dish, fritware, painted in cobalt blue with deers in a landscape in imitation of a Chinese Kraak ware design, Iran, 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 plays a dominant but not exclusive role.
Malzemeler ve teknikler	White earthenware painted in 2 blues
Fiziksel açıklama	The extended eight brackets of the rim set the size of the panels filled with a double peach branch and a bird flying across them. The jewelled dividers have a geometric top but no base. An eight-bracket Kraak frame surrounds the traditional scene of a deer and a light blue doe on a mound with two hollow rocks and tufts of grass. There is a T-mark and a single dot to one side. The stem of a pine tree with ample branches bends over to the left from the right of the dish. Two clouds glide across the top of the scene. The rather large panels overwhelm the centre which is less than half the width of the dish. Eight leafy peach panels with comma dividers decorate the outside. A large double circle surrounds the tassel mark inside the base ring.
