Notes	This bowl is based on a rare Chinese export group with unidentified armorials and a latin motto on a ribbon (see 2904-1876 for a Safavid copy). The Iranian potter has introduced standing figures in the panels with scholars and attendants in Iranian costume. Similar designs, perhaps from the same commission, are found on a multi-necked vase in the collection (1082-1883), with standing figures, one holds a bottle and another a sliced watermelon. The figures may have been inspired by another rare group of contemporary Chinese jars, of about 1620-44, similarly painted with Persian and Chinese figures, one was in the collection of Queen Mary II at Kensington Palace, and another is in the British Museum (1965,0726.1).
Malzemeler ve teknikler	Fritware, underglaze painted in blue Fritware Painted Glazed
Fiziksel açıklama	Bowl of fritware, painted in blue with black outline under a clear glaze. On the outside three reserve-painted panels with lateral bands and pseudo-writing. Each panel contains a standing robed figure wearing a hat and holding a vertical object. By his side a small barelegged servant carries a parasol. Two vertical jewelled strings encompass the three dividing areas. These are filled with ribbon, books or lozenges, above a flower with four finials. A band of boats, trees, huts and hillocks run along the inner rim. A central medallion with the same reserve-painted figure stands alone with surrounding ribbons, jewelled strings and two bands of pseudo-writing. Imitation Chinese square mark in black.
