Dish, fritware, painted in cobalt blue with birds on rocks in imitation of a Chinese Kraak ware design, Iran, 1600-40.
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 extended nine brackets of the rim lead to nine petal panels filled with tubes, squares, tassels and ribbons. The dividers are narrower than usual perhaps to allow more space for nine panels on the flange and well. A nine-bracket Kraak frame surrounds a haphazard composition of pine trees, striped and dotted rocks, three long-legged birds and fantastic plants. The outer flange and well are covered with nine panels enclosing a cloud shape with three finials. The dividers contain the usual comma motif. The centre could have been painted by a different hand as the design reveals a clumsy use of cobalt.
