This piece was probably made in Iznik, north-west Anatolia. By the 1530s, small sprays of tulips and other recognisable flowers were a common motif on Izkik ceramics. But from the 1550s these were replaced by compositions on a larger scale, as seen on this dish with tulips and roses. The Ottoman court renewed its patronage of ceramics made in Iznik, north-west Anatolia, during the construction of the Süleymaniye mosque in Istanbul in 1550-1557. The first Iznik tiles were produced and potters added a bright red to the range of colours painted under the glaze. This was achieved with a slip (liquid clay) made from a special clay. In the following decades, tiles of high quality were decorated in red, green and tones of blue on a white ground. Dishes, bottles and other vessels had similar decoration on white or coloured grounds.
Tarihsel bağlam
The composition of this Iznik plate, while executed freehand by the painter, is noticeably more schematic than many contemporary wares. In particular, the symmetry of the central composition, with its mirror-image saz leaves and fat carnations, stands in contrast to the more usual approach of spreading the floral motifs unevenly over the surface of the plate.
