This dish is an example of the ceramics Iranian potters created in the period 1600-1700 using single-colour glazes. Many of these wares have moulded or carved decoration which is often, as in this case, quite restrained. This piece is one of the luxury items produced by Iranian potters. In the 16th century, ceramic production in Iran was on a modest scale. When the capital moved to Isfahan around 1600, the production of luxury dishes and wall tiles in a wide variety of styles and techniques rapidly increased. We cannot identify a particular centre of production of ceramic vessels. Surviving pieces illustrate the many techniques the potters used. These included underglaze painting and coloured glazes, and lustre, which was revived after 1650.

Fritware covered with monochrome glaze Incising
Fiziksel açıklama
Large fritware plate covered with a monochrome glaze coloured an opaque turquoise. The rim edge has a lip, suggesting that perhaps a lid once fitted into it - perhaps this was a serving dish. The wide rim is decorated with very lightly incised floral designs, in the manner of "Gombroon ware". There is otherwise no decoration, but the rim has a slight chip on the outer edge.
