Notes	The decoration on this bowl illustrates an important turning-point in the history of ceramics made in Iznik, north-west Anatolia. In the 1530s, potters there turned away from the tightly organized designs of earlier years and began to decorate their wares freehand. Soon they were executing charming designs in a blue and turquoise palette, like this scene in which a snake creeps up on an unsuspecting bird in a tree.
