Notes
There are a number of dishes painted with Nazaret , a name attributed to khawaje Nazar (d.1636 [Kurdian]), who was the head of the Armenian community in New Julfa, or a descendent. The pattern was based on a Chinese prototype, which is often associated with the Islamic market, but examples have been found in the Americas and elsewhere.
