Tarihsel bağlam
Persian blue and white ceramics were primarily produced during the rule of the Safavid Dynasty in Iran (early 16th century to early 18th century). Iranian potters were almost exclusively preoccupied with making wares in the styles of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain some close copies and some more fanciful. Echoes of earlier traditions remained, in particular in the black-under-turquoise colour scheme that dates back in Iran to the end of the 12th century. Towards the end of the 16th century there was a widening of interest that blossomed in the 17th century to a wide range of styles and techniques in which blue and white plays a dominant but not exclusive role.

Fiziksel açıklama
The eight extended brackets of the rim outline the eight panels and their dividers filled with knotted ribbons set between small patterns of scales, Y-shapes, swastikas and lozenges. Flower designs alternate in the panels while two of them also contain a bird in flight. The eight-bracket Kraak frame surrounds a crowded composition. A central gnarled tree with cumbersome branches rises from a rocky mound with a deer and a doe. To the right is a vertical cliff. The eight sections of the outer flange have alternate bars and circles with comma dividers. The outer well has three sets of split tufts of grass each with a bird. Three bees act as dividers. The glaze is cracked and the light blue wash tends to run.
