Notes	Large footed bowl, fritware, painted with underglaze blue floral decoration, Turkey (Iznik), ca.1530
Tarihsel bağlam	Iznik pottery of Ottoman Turkey survives in such quantities, and is of such varied techniques and styles of painting that it has long been susceptible to stylistic division. The bright colours and lively designs are, in the context of ceramic development, an extraordinary creative innovation. Iznik pottery stands out in comparison to Miletus wares that proceeded it and Kutahya wares that followed.
Malzemeler ve teknikler	Fritware, underglaze painted in cobalt blue, glazed Fritware Glaze Painted
Fiziksel açıklama	The interior of the bowl is divided into a new compositional scheme of radiating arcades which have alternating blue and white grounds and which are filled with alternating axial and rotational designs. Palmettes with turquoise centres and diminutive serrated leaves are also painted. The outside of the basin is loosely painted with a sequence of large rosettes with indented contours and most noticeably dark blue detailing in the centre which resembles the spokes of a wheel. The same type of rosette can be seen in the white ground panels on the inside of the bowl.
Üslup	Ottoman
