It was made at a time when a market for Turkish art wares was beginning to be established.<br><br><b>Historical Association</b><br>This dish was exhibited at the International Exhibition held in London in 1862.  It is an early example of Minton's technical expertise in producing and combining high-quality bone china with the skill  accurately to  replicate Iznik-style colours and painted decoration.  Five years later, in the Paris exhibition of 1867, Minton's were commended by the international jury for the evenness and brilliance of their transparent enamel colours.  At this early date tin-glazed ceramics with this characteristic patterning and colours were thought to have been made by potters in Rhodes. Their correct attribution to the Iznik region was not made until the 1940s.<br><br><b>Design & Designing</b><br>Under their art director, Léon Arnoux (1816-1902), Minton's were interested in design and ceramic technology of many periods and cultures. Turkish (Iznik) wares were one of several types that attracted the company's attention.  Other manufactories, notably in France, also imitated this brightly coloured ware. Minton's managing director, Colin Minton Campbell (1827-1885), purchased Persian (Iranian) tiles in Paris and Istanbul in 1856-1858.  He formed a collection of East Asian and Middle Eastern ceramics and  contemporary wares from other European manufactories which was held at the factory, providing examples for the designers and technicians to study.","physicalDescription":"","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Minton","id":"A9175"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Bone china, painted in underglaze and overglaze colours","categories":[{"text":"British Galleries","id":"THES48985"},{"text":"Caricatures & Cartoons","id":"THES48983"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2006AM5291"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"125C (VA)","id":"THES49896"},"free":"","case":"CA3","shelf":"","box":"9"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Plateau","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Stoke-on-Trent","id":"x29185"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1862","earliest":"1862-01-01","latest":"1862-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"28.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions checked: Measured; 07/07/1999 by Terry","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Made by Minton & Co., Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire\n\nExhibited at the London International Exhibition of 1862","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Plateau or dish, bone china, Minton & Co., Stoke-on-Trent, 1862","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"British Galleries:\nIZNIK-STYLE WARES<br>\nLarge manufacturers such as Minton & Co. commissioned designs and produced ceramics in the fashionable style based on Turkish or Persian (Iranian) originals.
