Notes
This decoration of this bowl and a similar example (1155-1876) in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, imitates desings on Chinese blue and white export porcelain of the Jiajing dynasty (1522-66), or mid sixteenth century, examples of which are found in the Ardebil Shrine in Iran, a courtly collection of Chinese ceramics, deposited at the shrine in North western Iran, before 1611, by Shah Abbas.
