The first Iznik tiles were produced, and a bright red was added to the range of colours painted under the glaze. This was achieved with a slip made from a special clay.\r\n\r\nIn 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.\r\n\r\nBy the 1530s, small sprays of tulips and other recognisable flowers were a common motif, but from the 1550s these were replaced by compositions on a larger scale, as seen on this dish with a fish-scale ground.","physicalDescription":"This medium sized dish is painted with red, white, green and blue, under a clear glaze. The decoration on the inside of the dish is separated into two sections; the bowl and the rim. The rim is decorated with a wave-scroll pattern. This is interrupted by a repeated abstract leaf motif in white and red, which cuts into the border from alternate sides. The bowl of the dish is covered with an all-over textural design resembling fish-scales. There is a central red flower motif which forms the middle of a six pointed star filled with green 'fish-scales', or imbrication. A large hexagon delimits the decoration on the flat of the bowl's interior from its sides. Inside the hexagon is decorated with blue imbrication; outside it is in green and red. The exterior of the dish is mostly left white, with a simple ring of small blue flowers.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"fritware","id":"x29419"}],"techniques":[{"text":"underglazing","id":"AAT48642"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Fritware, polychrome underglaze painted, glazed","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"}],"styles":[{"text":"Iznik","id":"AAT21623"},{"text":"Ottoman","id":"AAT21614"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2006AC3382","2017KB2979"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"42","id":"THES49806"},"free":"","case":"WN4","shelf":"4","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Dish","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Iznik","id":"x32510"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1580-1585","earliest":"1580-01-01","latest":"1585-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"30.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"5.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Dish with 'fish-scale' patterning forming a star motif, Turkey (Iznik), 1580-1585.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"Dating based on similarity to dish in <u>Iznik</u> catalogue (fig. 744).","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"flowers","id":"x35571"},{"text":"scale pattern","id":"AAT10142"},{"text":"imbrication","id":"AAT10146"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"Jameel Gallery \n\nVariety of Shape and Design \r\nThe shapes of Iznik vessels were derived from sources as varied as metalwork (9–11), leatherwork (14) and Chinese and Italian ceramics.
