یادداشتها
The colour palette of this tile reflects the influence of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain imported into the Middle East. However, the technique of outlining in black is not found in Chinese wares. It appears to have been a uniquely Islamic innovation developed to create crisp design, essential for their very detailed arabesque patterns. The black masks the fuzzy blue edges, as the blue flows uncontrollably during the firing process. The techinque continued in Iran during the Safavid period of ceramic production, before spreading to Europe, where it was used by the potters in Delft in the Netherlands. Arabesque patterns were developed through book illustrations and are also found on contemporary bookbinding, metalwork and other branches of the decorative arts..
